ISSUE #5 is our current issue. The May issue features poems by Hugh Behm-Steinberg, Erica Hayes, and Laura McCullough and an essay about Philip Larkin's poetry by Jerry Bradley. All issues are available in the ARCHIVES.
TAB: The Journal of Poetry & Poetics is part of Tabula Poetica: The Center for Poetry at Chapman University. You can find out more about Tabula Poetica, including its annual Poetry Reading Series and outreach, at www.chapman.edu/poetry.
TAB: A Journal of Poetry & Poetics is a national and international journal of creative and critical writing. This new literary journal’s mission is to discover, support, and publish the contemporary poetry and writing about poetry; to provide a forum in which the poetic tradition is practiced, extended, challenged, and discussed by emerging and established voices; and to encourage wide appreciation of poetry and expand the audience for poems and writing about poetry.
We welcome submissions of poems from established and emerging poets as well as critical essays, creative nonfiction, interviews, and reviews. TAB will reach an audience of poets, poetry readers and appreciators, poetry scholars and critics, and students of poetry.
TAB launched in January 2013 with a print issue featuring Tabula Poetica visiting writers. Print issues will appear annually in January. If you'd like a copy of the most recent print issue, please send a check for $10 made out to Chapman University to TAB, Department of English, Chapman University, One University Drive, Orange, CA 92866. Or visit our donations page for membership that includes a copy of the print issue.
Monthly electronic issues run February through December. The two formats allow us to experiment with design and materiality in this age in which print and electronic dissemination coexist. Please read the Design Statement in the Front Matter of the electronic issues for additional explanation of our approach.
