Aught News
New issue:
AUGHT no. 15 brings together a particularly interesting and diverse selection of work that stretches the boundaries of syntax, poetic structure, and lyric identity. I hope you'll enjoy reading the poems as much as I have!
Apologies for the delay in bringing out this issue!
About Aught
AUGHT hopes to provide a forum for poetry and prose poems exploring the use of innovative language and imagery, including (but not limited to) "language-oriented" formal experimentation. Since 1997 it has given a home to poetry from nearly 200 new and established writers.
Note to contributors
AUGHT will be accepting submissions for issue no. 16 during the remainder of 2007. For this issue we are looking for work for a special section that addresses the dynamic between individual perception and the "natural" world (you may interpret "natural" however you wish) in a formally innovative manner.
If you're thinking about submitting work, please do not send traditionally "formal" poems, mainstream or confessional free verse, or inspirational or religiously devotional poetry — there are many other web-based venues appropriate for those genres of work. We also don't tend to publish "slam" poetry, or latter-day Beat writing, either. (Nothing against either style, but it's not for AUGHT, and a lot of it comes in.)
It's probably best to read the existing issues of AUGHT and gauge for yourself whether the style of your work will fit in with the overall body of poetry already assembled here.
Please email inquiries to Ron Henry, and include submissions within the body of the email or as ASCII text file (if there are no complex formatting issues), or as a Word or RTF word processing format (if the layout is more complex). Authors of very complex or concrete poetry should submit their work in JPG or GIF graphics format.
