THRUSH Poetry Journal appears six times a year, in the months of January, March, May, July, September and November.
Why the name THRUSH?
Thrushes are a species of bird, the songs of some considered to be among the most beautiful in the world. We love that, and that is how we feel about poems. We hope to provide you with the best poetry available to us.
We believe our relationship with our contributors should not end at publication and feel strongly about promoting their work whenever possible. Therefore, we nominate for most major prizes, anthologies and awards, and poems from THRUSH appear and are forthcoming in Best of the Net and Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses.
