This section of kansaspoets.com is not a literary journal, nor is it a contest, it is for archival purposes only! 

The intent of this collection is to recognize distinguished KANSAS poets who currently live or previously resided in the state.  All contributors whose poems appear on the website retain the rights to their work.

All solicited and/or submitted poetry and associated material will be "blindly" reviewed by a panel of four distinguished poets. Their unanimous decision as to the merit of the writing is the deciding factor for posting to this archival collection.

Never before published and previously published poems appear on these page.  If previously published, poems include credits when made available.

Suggestions for the growing poets list are welcome.

Poetry from contributing writers and their biographies will appear on these pages as they are submitted. Please know that it might take 1-6 weeks before acquired material is posted to the site once approved.
