This is not a literary journal, nor is it a contest.

 

The purpose of this collection is archival only!  ...and to create a "word mural" that others elsewhere might experience Kansas.

All contributors whose poems appear on the website retain the rights to their work.

All submitted poetry will be reviewed by the current Kansas Poet Laureate.  The Laureate & his appointed panel of readers make all final decisions on what appears in the archive.

Each poet's name will appear along side the title of their poem in the archive index.
