ANON --- the anonymous submissions poetry magazine

Introduction

Anon is a print-based poetry magazine to which poems are submitted anonymously and assessed 'blind', using procedures similar to those used by poetry competitions.

Poems that are accepted for publication are published under the names of their authors – that is to say, the anonymous process only applies to the assessment procedures, not to publication. Poems that are rejected remain ‘anonymous’ – the editor does not discover the names of poets he rejects.

Anon provides a level playing field. It has quickly established a presence in the poetry magazine scene. It is published on a sometimes scandalously relaxed timescale, though we are trying to improve in that regard...

                   "This is nothing short of fabulous. Our celebrity culture is in such
                   desperate need of an enema. We're completely clogged up with ego
                   and projects like this have become essential in every way."
                   Mario Petrucci

                   "Names here don’t count. Only the poetry does. It is judged by its
                   words, its form, the way it sounds, the way it looks. Quality matters.
                   Remember that elusive factor? At Anon it’s back."
                   Peter Finch
