The digital portal for contributions to the seventh issue of Catchment – Poetry of Place will open between 21 September – 21 November 2026.
Guidelines & Submissions can be accessed through this link:
https://www.bawbawartsalliance.org.au/bcms/catchment/
The journal welcomes unpublished poetry of place, not on offer elsewhere, both as English Language tanka and in longer verse-forms. With our team still small, we continue to accept work only from Australian writers.
Beyond stand-alone poems & sequences, starting with our seventh issue, tanka poets may wish to submit new work of a third kind, in the form of tanka-doha, as one or two pairs of twin-tanka.
In both tanka & longer forms, we will still value poetry which focusses on a sense of location, or perhaps some other dimension to the notion of place.
We look forward to receiving your very best new poems of place from 21 September onwards!
