The editors of Hawk & Whippoorwill seek thoughtful and well-crafted poetry which takes up the topic of "nature and humankind". (Our tagline was formerly "man and nature", but we're committed to being more inclusive.)

This journal is a resurrection of August Derleth's much-admired magazine of the 60s. In keeping with his original mission, we publish only poetry in print. However, we're glad to consider essays or interviews for our website. 

English translations of foreign-language poetry are welcome provided that the translator has obtained publication rights from the copyright holder.

With any submission of poetry for possible publication, please indicate whether you wish to receive editorial feedback with any decision. 

And please let us know what your favorite species is.
