Begun as an answer to Aurorean editor Cynthia Brackett-Vincent’s frequent quandary, “I wish this fit the Aurorean!”, the Unrorean publishes poems
that are too long, too dark or too experimental for the Aurorean’s format.
Its tagline: “$2 each U.S. (less than a cup of gourmet coffee & more satisfying). One-year subscription {2 issues} $4 U.S. (much more satisfying than just one issue!). There are no formal guidelines or deadlines, & we do not send proofs. Work sent solely to the Unrorean is not acknowledged (but we promise to take good care of your poems)."
Its format: 11x17; laser-printed; folded into 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Various colors. 2-4 11x17 pages depending on how much typing Cynthia feels like doing.
Our current issue includes poetry by:
R. Matthew Burke, Michael Estabrook, Carol Hamilton, and Susan Landon
(as well as two haiku by the editor).

Although there are no formal guidelines for the Unrorean, material submitted from approximately January-June is considered for the Summer/Fall issue and material submitted from approximately July-December is considered for the Winter/Spring issue. It follows that generally, the longest we will hold your work is six months. All we ask when you submit, is that you include a SASE for our return/reply to your submission.
Although our subject matter is generally more wide-open for the Unrorean than the Aurorean, we will not consider material that is hateful or pornographic.
We notify contributors prior to acceptance, and send one contributor’s copy per poem published.
One “Editor’s Pick” each issue receives two Xtra copies.
