Eligiblity: poem of any length, style, and form accepted. Poems must be the original work of the author; no third-party submissions allowed. The Least Untrue will consider both unpublished and previously published poems, but significant preference will be given to unpublished pieces. Simultaneous submissions allowed.

Guidlines: The Least Untrue is, in many ways, open to everything: formal structures or free verse, traditional and experimental efforts. We seek new, emerging poets as well as experienced, well-known authors. However, we recognize that we have subconscious preferences for experiments with form and style, vivid imagery, minimalism, deft language, and works that challenge convention. We prefer work for adults, and welcome adult themes (although they are in no way required). We do not mind controversial, sexual, political or challenging subjects. We especially encourage writers of color, women, and other minority authors. We are NOT interested in uncritical thought, unedited efforts (edit and edit again!) and conservative worldviews. If you have any questions, please let us know at theleastuntruepoetry@gmail.com.
