The Aurorean has been profiled in Poet’s Market; several-times recommended by Small Press Review. SPR: “a journal that has both high production values and quality poetry ... perfect to elevate you from the dark night of the soul.” Subject matter/style open; mostly free verse. Focuses: New England; the seasons; haiku; uplifting poetry (not religious or denominational). We routinely publish the biggest names in the small press but are just as pleased to showcase newer poets. Poets from all over the U.S. have graced our pages as well as those from around the world, including Canada, England, Malta, and Uzbekistan. We strive to live up to our name, the adjective form of aurora—aurorean—luminescent, like the dawn. 61 pages of poetry (approximately 90 poets, 2 featured); “Best Poem” from last issue receives $30. Contests: Poetic Quote of the Season; Editor’s Chapbook Choice; Outstanding Haiku (students in Creative Writing programs). Guidelines on website.
