ANNOUNCING: Comet, a Wax Poetry and Art Collection
Wax Poetry and Art is pleased to introduce Comet, a new collection that will be published three times per year
alongside Poetry World and Wax Poetry and Art Magazine.
Comet is the premier poetry collection of the Wax Poetry and Art Network. Out of over 30 publications, only 12 will be selected for inclusion in Comet. Publications not selected for Comet will be included in Poetry World. There will be a process for promotion and relegation, and other exciting aspects. Complete details will be announced next Wax Poetry and Art Day on September 1st, 2023. Submissions are now open for Comet #1.
The Comet Publications: Inaugural List
Comet #1 will be published on January 1st, 2024 and will feature the work published in the following 12 publications.
These magazines were selected based on the number of times they have appeared in the collections, Poetry World #1 to #6.
The poets and artists who have supported these publications with excellent submissions have earned their publication a place in Comet.
However, in order to remain a Comet Publication, that place must be earned all over again.
