At Eye on Life, one of the things we cherish is poetry.  We love poetry.  Our Senior Poetry Editor, Tom Rubenoff, lives, breathes, and bathes in poetry and poetry events.  Tom is truly a Poetry Locksmith. He has a keen eye for poetry and it has been a delight to read every poet and poem he has chosen for our pages.   

Our readers are the keys that unlocks our Poetry Unlocked pages.

We make submitting your poetry to Eye on Life easy.  Eye on Life Magazine publishes three or four poems a week from the submission we receive.  We are looking for short to medium length poems, no forced rhymes or poems crammed into forms in which they clearly don’t belong.  Ideally we want to see stunning imagery and/or meaning that cannot be fully contained by form, or form that actually and effortlessly works. 

If accepted, your work will be published online in our Poetry Unlocked feature.  We will send you a link so that you can view your work and tell us if any corrections are needed. 

We do not pay for poetry submissions at this time.  All rights revert to the poet upon publication.  We respond to submissions usually in less than two weeks. 

We look forward to seeing your work! 

Best regards,

Tom Rubenoff
