We appreciate writers who do not merely record their emotions on paper, but also place importance on craft and construction. We desire works that are groundbreaking and shocking, while still maintaining a high level of craftsmanship through careful attention to and use of prosody. These works should not only describe events and occurences, but rather explore and examine self-revelations that uncover human truths, creating a close connection with its readers.

There is a great difference between confessional poetry and poems written for therapy. The brilliant editors at Up the Staircase know and respect that difference. Their interviews are interesting, and the featured writers are always a worthy read. you must login to comment. If you do not have an account, you may create one here.
