Guidelines
We welcome your submissions to the Origami Poems Project
Of course, we're happy to receive submissions but cannot promise that
your submission = our acceptance.
Yes, all poetry is poetry to the poet. Some poems may not resonate with us...
As poets, the OPP committee has experienced both sides of that sometimes joyful, often discouraging
submission process. Send your poetry in the body of an email or as a Word document.
From seeing the website, you know that these little books allow only so many words!

Ideally, the poems are around 20-23 lines long, including Title and Spaces. Each line length should

If we accept the honor of creating an origami book to host on our website, we will ask for more information. Our books are given freely at displays throughout RI and other locales where micro-chapbooks of poetic gems are needed.
And... if accepted, we'll send you a small packet of carefully-folded Origami Poems micro-chapbooks
- to read, share, display on your tiniest of bookshelves.
There is no fee but we are always encouraged by generosity.
Thank you for your interest in the Origami Poems Project
