Screenshot of the "Our Latest Updates" section from The Broken Spine website, showing six blog-style thumbnail previews for upcoming poetry submission calls. Each entry includes a title, date, short description, and a featured image. The calls are for: Dove Cry: Anti-War Poetry (featuring a white dove in flight) Firmament: Poetry at the Edge of Knowing (two birds silhouetted against a starry sky) No Gods No Masters: Punk Poetry (a graffiti-covered doorway with posters) Fragments: When Poetry Is All That’s Left (a photo of a smiling woman beside an old photo) The Havisham Steps: Modern Gothic Poetry (a black-and-white photo of a gothic church spire) Verdigris: Poetry of Decay (a chandelier glowing in purple light) Each post links to full submission guidelines for a different volume in the #Slimlines thematic poetry anthology series.
Just put together the final six submission calls for The Broken Spine’s #Slimlines thematic #PoetryAnthology series.
These map out what I'm publishing across the next 18 months.
2026 me will be pleased with the work I did today.
Reminders will come, but you can read here:

I’ll be reading for No Gods No Masters: Punk Poetry in February 2026. This one’s loud, pissed off, and not here to be polite.
I’m putting all #Slimlines submission windows out early so you can write toward them, and I can have a life 😅.

There are some themes. The winter to Spring was all about leaving X. June is filled with Pride themes. But most of all, they're just designed to push writers closer to the fringes. Our #Slimlines are our closest anthologies. We're open for #Haze #CounterculturePoetry throughout May.

Concrete doesn’t crumble easily—neither does this poetry. High-Rise is a monument to the brutal, the beautiful, the real. Don’t miss it.

I try to ensure that the #Slimlines are thematic, but representative of diverse voices and experiences.
