about us

2008-12-29T14:44:00.008-05:00

Sakura Review is a literary publication situated in the District of Columbia. We publish poetry and prose and are particularly interested in – though not limited to – work that in some way satisfies or reflects our own preoccupation with a city embodied in location temporary; the new surrounded by collections and artifacts; what is documented alongside what is ultimately forgotten.

In addition to publishing the most striking and exciting new material that we can get our hands on, Sakura Review is also an endeavor of design. In accordance with a strong aesthetic perspective, we aim to construct a physical item of interest and creativity that incites a response equivalent to the work it contains. Moreover, we see it as our obligation to surprise, entertain, and perplex (if possible) in any manner that we see fit.

submissions

2008-12-29T14:40:00.029-05:00

We have moved to an online submission system, which can be found here.

We read poetry and prose year-round, though our response time in the summer months may be a bit slower. We are currently reading for Sakura Review Three.

Please submit only once every six months. Responses can take up to that amount of time. Only previously unpublished work will be considered. Simultaneous submissions are fine, if noted (please notify us immediately if the work is accepted somewhere else).

For prose, please submit only one manuscript at a time. We prefer shorter pieces (under 2,500 words), but we have been known to publish longer work occasionally.

For poetry, please submit no more than five poems, or ten pages, at one time.

Contributors receive two copies of the issue in which their work appears.
