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.

You rambled our oyster-shell roads/ by foot and bike, rain jacket always open/ to the wind, a pack of rib-thin dogs/ your only company.

Where wind is hooves and clover blooms as song
the world spins, new to sin, virgin to blood.

I’ve caught a kitten inside / a little wooden box— / hear her in there? Purring? / Turn the light on for me, kitten, / for it is dark and I am afraid.

Sweetness can be deceiving;
voted twice nicest girl at bible school,
my shoulders, hunched with sin, attracted hands
like crumpled butterflies to the stinking sap
of lilies, the church ladies urging God
to catch me in his healing arms.
