A brief statement regarding the process, praxis or parole of the submitted work is encouraged, but not required. Please allow one to three months for a response.

Word For/ Word acquires exclusive first-time printing rights (online or otherwise) for all published works, which are archived online and may be featured in special print and blog editions. All rights revert to the authors after publication in Word For/ Word; however, we ask that we be acknowledged if the work is republished elsewhere.
Word For/ Word is open to all types of poetry, prose and visual art, but prefers innovative and post-avant work with an astute awareness of the materials, rhythms, trajectories and emerging forms of the contemporary. Word For/ Word is published biannually.
This issue of Word For/ Word was designed using Proty.
