About Slope

eight years and running...

Slope is an 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 We publish only new, original and previously unpublished poems.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 Sex and War (Issue 23), our groundbreaking American Sign Language Poetry feature (Issue 19) and "OzErotica: Australian Poets Write Love and Sex" (Issue 18).
