About the Journal

The
Burlington Poetry Journal is an independent publication that is dedicated to the concept that art should be free and accessible to everyone. In a world with so many voices we believe in a community based, eclectic approach to the publication of poetry. Therefore, the BPJ will always welcome any form or style within its pages. We are currently working towards achieving a non-profit 501(c)3 status.

In the news!

Dear Poets and Poetry readers,
   Our Journal has made it into the Seven Days newspaper.  One of their writers found a copy an wrote a wonderful little review of the Journal.  On behalf of the other editors, and myself, I would like to thank all of you who have helped make the Burlington Poetry Journal what it is with all of you enthusiasm and wonderful poetry submissions!  Keep writing, and we will update you on when Vol. III, Ed I. will be out.

Just caught the announcement about this from Poemshape. Added a link to here on my poetry blog, and am wondering when the next submission deadline will be?
