This is a more extensive and more up to date list of poetry publications than found here: https://zumpoems.com/poetry-publications/. Note that this was generated by Gemini Pro 2.5 and there are some errors. I have been correcting such errors when I find them. There are now over 1500 entries here with over 300 publications accepting poems previously posted on personal blogs. Because of the number of columns (21), I highly suggest that you cut and paste this into a spreadsheet — just highlight everything inside the table below and cut and paste! (It’s probably quicker if you just do a Control A to highlight entire page, paste that into your spreadsheet, and remove any unwanted rows of text.)
