Our parent company, Poetica Victorian Press, Inc. has just made a new development in Project Modern-Classical Poetry: The Poetica Victorian Critique Center. This free service for poets will allow them to send us works in progress- not for us to consider for publication- and we will set some of our staff members to critique the piece so that the poet can know what actual poetry publishers think their work could use to improve. Note again, this is for works in progress which the poet who send them to desires critique and not for publication. There is no obligation to the poet to publish his work with us; they can accept our advice or not and then send their poems wherever they desire.
So what's the purpose of this? We are doing this because we want more modern classical poems being published in journals around the world. If poets find themselves stuck on a poem and don't know where to go with them we can help them so that they can hopefully get their works published and thus get more modern-classical poetry out into the literary world.
So how does it work? We are currently developing a small web page for this new service which will be up as soon as our web designers finish it. As of now you can send us up to ten "works in progress" poems which you want us to critique. Our staff will then review them within a month (depending on how many submissions we receive) and then send them back to you with our critiques. Send all poems to editorpoetica@gmail.com
Please note that in doing this service we have one small request: the silent poet. What this means is that when we send our critiques to you, unless otherwise noted that we require clarification, please do not respond in anger or in frustration. We critique the poems as a free service but more so we are critiquing them. We are just trying to help so don't lash out if we say something you don't agree with; this is constructive criticism.
