32 Classrooms

I

In our 32 Classrooms initiative, 32 Poems partners with high school and undergraduate instructors in an effort to help introduce young writers to contemporary poetry and to the practice of literary editing.

Students in participating classes read our current issue and have the opportunity to interact with the magazine in a variety of ways, including writing an original poem that responds to or imitates work they admire. At the end of each semester, we encourage students to submit these pieces to be considered for publication on our website.

Additionally, the editors of 32 Poems and recent contributors engage classrooms virtually (and, when possible, in-person) to answer students’ questions regarding submissions, evaluation, and the editing processes. We enjoy fostering a relationship with participating classrooms and we work with instructors to provide the assistance and materials that best benefit each particular group of students.

Interested instructors should contact managing editor, Elisabeth Clark (elisabethclark@32poems.com) for more information.
