Submissions for the Poetry Aotearoa Yearbook 2027 close on the 31st of July. You can submit up to five unpublished poems on any theme, or an essay related to poetry and poetics of no more than 5,000 words in length. All submissions must be typed and thoroughly edited, and include a brief bio-note.

All writers published in the Poetry Aotearoa Yearbook receive a free copy of the issue in which their work appears. For this reason, please include a current postal address with your submission.

All pieces are judged by Tracey Slaughter. For more information on how to submit here.
