You must be currently enrolled at Pittsburg State University to be considered for publication in our annual print issue of Cow Creek Review.

We are looking for poetry that is written with purpose. Poems should showcase clearly thought-out lines and careful attention to literary and sonic devices. Each word should be given its due diligence. Poems should explore anything from scenes of daily life to mystical wanderings, rather descriptive, confrontational, or lyrical. We want poetry that transcends the limits of the imagination, both in content and style. Poems submitted should be both visually and emotionally stimulating for those that read them.

Each poem should adhere to the following guidelines:

  • 12 pt font, Times New Roman
  • Single Space
  • DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME ANYWHERE IN THE DOCUMENT

Please submit each poem separately.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
