Cave Wall, published twice a year (or once a year while our children
are little), is a national literary magazine dedicated to publishing the
best in contemporary poetry. We welcome poems of any length
and style from both established and emerging poets of all identities.
Each issue includes black & white art, as well.
Poems first published in Cave Wall have been featured on Poetry

Poetry, Best New Poets, and Pushcart Prize awards anthologies.

away or recycling literary journals. There is one
exception to that rule: Cave Wall. We keep them
all."
