Writing Prompts from One Word and Poetry Magazines

The Are You Outside the Lines blog visited the One Word website I recommended and wrote in response to a prompt. Yesterday, I visited One Word and wrote in response to the word “mantle.” I went back today to get another word, but the word is still “mantle.” Hmmm.

What magazines do you receive?

I’m getting Cimarron Review, Bloomsbury Review, Ninth Letter, Virginia Quarterly Review, The New Yorker and some others. The New Yorker hardly needs my support, but there you go. I am morally opposed to The Atlantic, because they do not publish enough poetry. The amount of poetry they publish withered to nearly nothing the last time I checked. That’s about the time I decided to subscribe only to magazines that offered a large poetry presence. You could easily tell me how few poems The New Yorker publishes. Well, The New Yorker is The New Yorker. The prose is also good.

Some other magazines that invite my interest include Southwest Review, Barn Owl Review, and Pebble Lake Review to name a few. I’m only including magazines one can subscribe to, so that leaves out many excellent online magazines.
