A sister site for the literary ezine, THE SMOKING POET. The Smoking Poet is a literary ezine, circa 2006. We publish flash fiction, fiction, poetry, book reviews, non-fiction, and author/artist interviews that ignite our imagination, inflame our passion, leave us with a smoky aftertaste. We'll also consider the occasional novel excerpt as a special feature. Submit to us your finest flash pieces; we are open to all genres, within good taste. All we ask is that you submit your best work - polished to the highest level of your ability, and that you leave yourself open to, at worst, rejection, at best, constructive criticism. See THE SMOKING POET for full submission guidelines and deadlines.  

Past feature authors include Ingrid Hill, Dorianne Laux, Marge Piercy, Tish Cohen, Paul Levinson, Dominic Smith, Sue Miller, Lynn Stegner, Aberjhani, William Doreski, Harry Owen, and many, many others. Check back issues from our Archives page at THE SMOKING POET.
