Radar Poetry

Radar Poetry Radar is a journal of poetry and artwork. Radar Poetry is an electronic literary journal. We are interested in the interplay between poetry and visual media.

We publish poems from established and emerging writers and welcome international submissions. Our taste is eclectic; we encourage submitters to read our past issues before sending work. Each issue features pairings of poetry and artwork, selected by the editors and contributors. Radar Poetry offers an annual award, the Coniston Prize, for the best group of poems submitted by a woman poet writing in English. The winner and all finalists are published each year in the October issue of Radar.

A burst of short, rapid breaths, a piston,
a tire leaking air.
Wind then whisks
the Japanese maple. In accord with suffering.

Brown mole on her / adoptive neck, gold tiger, a blue mole on my hand // could not be scrubbed off, a damp alchemy of strange / phenomena from several lifetimes.
