SLOPE – WHERE MOVEMENTS HAPPEN

Slope is a quarterly, online journal devoted to poetry being written around the world. We publish only new, original and previously unpublished poems. Contributors hail from countries including Australia, England, South Africa, Nigeria, France, Tunisia, Wales, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. We encourage new writers, while continuing to publish award-winning and established poets. We are proud to be one of the first online journals to be anthologized in The Best American Poetry series (2002, for Charles Bernstein’s “12[2]” in Issue 11-12).

Slope occasionally features "sampler" issues. Recent examples include European poetry in Translation (Issue 16), New Singapore Poetry (Issue 15), “Slovenia: At This Moment” (Issue 14), and New African Poetry (Issue 13); upcoming issues include our groundbreaking American Sign Language Poetry feature (fall 2003), and a Thomas Merton memorial feature.
