Just like you cover the porn ads with your hands
as the webpage loads,
you ignored my phonecalls
after we kissed.

Kevin Sexton,
Montreal, QC, CanadaFounded and edited by Chandra E.A. Dickson, Poetry for the Masses is a public art project published online with the assistance of JoMama Press and Brian Ast.
Every issue features five to six poems from new and established poets in a broadside format.
Available through electronic subscription, we encourage our readers to print each issue on 11×17 paper and place it in places where poetry would normally not be found. If you’re interested in a free subscription, please email us
We look for poetry that is not only high quality, but also accessible to the public at large. We publish a wide variety of poetry styles, but we tend not to publish end-rhymed poetry, inspirational verse or long poems.
Please send submissions of three to five poems (we prefer poetry under 40 lines) of your best work. We don’t mind reading new writers but no longer have time to send comments. If you are unsure if your work will fit in our format please view the past issues.
Submissions are read year round and may be sent to: poetry4themasses@gmail.com or use the submission form below:
