Revival - a journal of contemporary poetry.

The White House Poets have for the past five years held their White House Poetry Revival readings in the White House pub in Limerick City, Ireland. The readings have been very successful with a mix of local, national and international poets reading their work to an always appreciative audience. Over a year ago Microphone On - an anthology of poetry read at the White House was published. Now the White House Poets bring you 'Revival' a journal of contemporary poetry, in chapbook format, to be published four times per year.

Firstly no one should write poetry for money.It is a pleasure to have one's poetry read or heard.If we do get paid then that is a bonus.

Pity they only want 32 lines. I was looking forward to submitting some of my work but I'm afraid most of my poems are a bit longer ... sigh.
