Created January 2008 to offer those poets, like myself, who have struggled to find publications that our work fits into a place to call home.  Looking for unique, creative work that's not afraid to speak its mind, to be true to itself and the craft.  Looking for work that is dark, personal, raw, edgy, offbeat and that refuses to conform to what is deemed acceptable in today's market, however my listing needs updated.

Important information about submissions: Please read. 

Please note that The Stray Branch is currently working on a heavy backlog. Issue #5 will be released this March and issues #6 Fall/Winter 2010, #7 Spring/Summer 2011 and #8 Fall/Winter 2011 are now full so any submissions of poetry or fiction sent now, if accepted will not appear in publication until 2012. I do not want to hold up anyone’s work for that long of a period of time but if this is not a problem for you feel free to submit just keep in mind the length of time between acceptance and publication. Artwork and photography submissions are still needed for #8. All artwork and photography also considered for the cover. Reading times for The Stray Branch are
from October thru April.
