Then make your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our full name,&nbsp;<em>Mudlark: An Electronic Journal of\nPoetry &amp; Poetics,<\/em>&nbsp;suggests, we will consider accomplished work\nthat locates itself anywhere on the spectrum of contemporary practice. We want\npoems, of course, but we want essays, too, that make us read poems (and write\nthem?) differently somehow. Although we are not innocent, we do imagine\nourselves capable of surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mudlark<\/em>&nbsp;publishes in three formats:\n\u201cissues\u201d are the electronic equivalent of print chapbooks; \u201cposters\u201d are the\nelectronic equivalent of print broadsides; and \u201cflashes\u201d are poems that have\nnews in them, poems that feel like current events. The acceptance rate at&nbsp;<em>Mudlark<\/em>&nbsp;is\nlow, very low; the rejection rate is comparably high. The work of hobbyists and\nlobbyists is not for us. The poem is the thing at&nbsp;<em>Mudlark<\/em>&#8230; and\nthe essay about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Mudlark<\/em>\u00a0poetry is free. Our authors give us their work and we, in turn, give it to our readers. What is the coin of poetry\u2019s realm? Poetry is a gift economy. One of the things we can do at\u00a0<em>Mudlark<\/em>\u00a0to \u201cpay\u201d our authors for their work is point to it here and there, wherever else it is. We can tell our readers how to find it, how to subscribe to it, and how to buy it&#8230; if it is for sale. Toward that end, we maintain A-Notes (on the Authors) we publish. We call attention to their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unf.edu\/mudlark\/submit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Submission Details.
