Each October, @afterpoetry.com gets 150-180 submissions for the roughly 20 or so available places in the journal the following year. Every poem sent in is read with care. Only the strongest, most original make it to publication. A handful more are picked as reserves and published the year after.

Extant

Sometimes I start a poem with your name,
delete all but one of the letters
to hide the evidence,
then carry on,
the ghost of you
still lurking.
