  • Original, unpublished poems not under consideration elsewhere are welcome (poems posted on social media or on a personal blog will be accepted).
  • AnoMaly Street is a small publication. To enable us to publish as many voices as possible we prefer shorter poems that fit on 1-2 A5 pages. For video and performance poems, our preference is for pieces of under 5 minutes.
  • Submit work in Garamond font. A different font will only be considered if it is integral to the piece.
  • Any images with poems must be the poet’s own work or otherwise attributed.
  • Submissions are limited to 3 poems.
  • Submit work either attached as a Word document, PNG or JPG to anomalystreet@geelongwriters.org.au. One poem per document. In the body of the email include the title/s of the work/s.
  • Optional, you may include an artist statement/inspiration for your piece.
  • What happens upon acceptance? If the editor sees fit, poems may undergo a collaborative editing process via email communication/track changes/face to face discussion.

  • Be daring and uncensored
  • A distinctive voice is valued
  • Read, read, read!
  • And then write
