easterncliff seeks to provide form to Poetry's most profound dimension,

alive and outside of time, the formless disclosing the harmony of creative revelation—not merely expression—where we sit together in mutual respect as in the tea ceremony,  where the souls of guest and host surrender

their personal selves and become united with each other...

close to the essence of things.

​

Each issue represents a patient, considered sequence,

according to unifying themes rising organically from contributions received.

​

You are welcome to share up to ten pages of work of your sole authorship, unless sharing a translation—in which you must cite the original text and authorship.

​

We ask that your contribution seeks to demonstrate

​

* presence: an intimate connection with the immanent world
* intuition that comprehends hidden, interior relationships
* craft: intentional formation of ideas/technique

* authenticity

 

We, in turn, will demonstrate mutual respect by not referring to your work as submission, nor in terms of your contribution as suitable or unsuitable.
