Saturday Submissions: ‘Rhino,’ the National Translation Award, and Other Calls for Poetry
RHINO POETRY magazine, which publishes poetry and flash-fiction — written in English and in translation — has reopened for submissions:
RHINO, according to their website, “is an award-winning literary annual print journal which invites traditional and experimental work reflecting passion, originality, artistic conviction, and a love affair with language. We publish poetry, flash fiction, and translations. While remaining committed to our print journal, beginning with the 2014 issue, all poems will be featured online, with placement occurring throughout the year.”
They specifically request translations that “move, experiment, provoke, play, compel, sing.” You can read their full submission guidelines online.

The NTA is the longest-standing prize for a work of literary translation. The NTA is given out in poetry and in prose. Hybrid works and drama are welcome, and may be submitted to either category as determined appropriate by the publisher.
