Winnow Literary is currently closed to submissions. We will open for poetry submissions to Issue Two in July 2025. Please check this page for future updates and consider subscribing to our email list for periodic announcements.

We seek poetry submissions that reflect the full range of the human experience with occupation across the lifespan. We aim to publish poetry that honors the meaning in the daily ordinary, the complexity of the quote-unquote “simplest” tasks. The interaction of the environments in which we live, learn, work and play with our own needs, values and occupational roles as individuals, groups, local, regional, and global societies.  We invite submissions from all writers:  new, emerging, or established. Occupational therapy practitioners, occupational therapy faculty, and OT/OTA students are encouraged to submit, as well as clients, patients, and past, present, or future consumers of occupational therapy services. Interprofessional health care providers, and writers-at-large are also highly encouraged to submit.
