* with regard to previously published poems or simultaneous submissions: those already under review or postmarked today (2/27/10) will still be considered per our previous policy: "…let us know if either is the case. Regarding simultaneous submissions, please be aware that no submissions can be withdrawn once we have sent out an acceptance notice/proof."

"Previously published" poems include poems previously published anywhere—even if in a different version—i
n print/in electronic version/and or on the Internet. If your work has placed in or won a contest, but has not yet been published, it is considered not previously published (but please provide contest details).

"Simultaneous submissions" include poems that are under consideration elsewhere. In almost fifteen years of publishing, the Aurorean has a near-perfect record of replying to submissions when promised. Therefore, if you feel you cannot wait 90 days maximum (plus mailing time) to hear from us, you should submit elsewhere.
