Poetry
More than 150 poems, free to read. Dual Coast Magazine published contemporary poetry from writers across the United States and abroad: free verse, formal work, prose poems, and the occasional experiment. Every poem here was chosen by our editors and printed in the magazine. The journal is closed to submissions, but the archive stays open. The issues these pieces appeared in are still available in paperback from Prolific Press.
