About Us 

Welcome to Boiling River!  We are a web-based poetry journal.

We welcome all styles of poetry, and we encourage our poets to take risks with their writing.  Whether free verse or form, take the poem to its limits.  "Boiling River" is a translation of an Algonquin word for the Kalamazoo River, describing its constant churning movement.  Let your poems follow suit and come bubbling up to the surface from a deep place. 

Please see our submissions guidelines if you are interested in contributing.
