We are looking for

New, contemporary and unusual poetry that goes beyond the current criteria of poetry. By that non-definition, your can submit words, sounds or images.
We will more likely accept works that are a meeting point for various discipline such as literature, philosophy, music, politics and spirituality.

We are not looking for

We will most likely reject anything based on gratuitous effects, decorative aesthetic (references), reactions, or your personal life and problems. If you envision poetry as a craft, Thou Goest is not for you.
