I used a number of resources to collate this list including the 2019 Pushcart Prize anthology (list of journals and presses nominating), a trusted and very heavily notated 2007 Poet's Market, Duoptrope, Submittable and Erica Verillo's blogpost about University-sponsored journals . I omitted a few 'journals' which were very low-effort/poor design because they appeared more like a blog than a magazine. There are certainly some smaller online journals in this list, but the quality of their writing and journal design (in a couple cases the writing quality prevailed over bland design). Basically, if it looks like a Geocities page I didn't include it. Also some journals inevitably got missed that were listed as a press, had a very limited demographic or just got lost in the huge shuffle of lists. If you represent a journal opening in September please comment and I'll include you.
