Looking for Poetry Readers!

November 27, 2020 Alina Rios

Hi there! We’re gearing up to open submissions for Issue VIII (more on that soon!) and we’re looking for poetry readers.

While the staff is all unpaid, working for Bracken will bring experience that evolves your poetic sensibilities, and comes with chances for advancement.

We’d prefer to see applications from prospective readers with some publication history, and we’d love to hear from members of under-represented groups.

If you’re interested, please send a brief cover letter and CV to Jed Myers, Bracken Poetry Editor, at medjyers@hotmail.com.
