Rhino Poetry

Rhino Poetry Award-winning, annual, print poetry journal for 49 years. Seeking poems, flash fiction, and translations!

RHINO has received numerous Literary Awards from the Illinois Arts Council and, most recently, the Evanston Mayor's Award for the Arts (2012). Rhino has been described in Literary Magazine Review as “an ambitious and high quality magazine. . .a journal that will reward the attention and the support of the most discriminating readers of poetry.”

RHINO Poetry occupies a niche somewhere between aca

demia and the emerging poetry scene – devoted to printing work that tells stories, provokes thought, and pushes the boundaries in form and feeling – while connecting with an audience.
