We are interested about writing offer new ideas
that challenges existing ways of thinking, that aspires to offer new ways and
means of thinking, that refuses to accept a clichéd way of thinking and offers
challenging and stimulating perspectives in all areas mentioned, particularly
interested in writing to do with global warming, geo-politics and geological

to be put in a structured and tamed way of thinking and expressing the thoughts!
We are interested in the thinkers who are roaming around
growing up and spending sleepless nights at campuses around the globe to offer
us their perspectives on issues that they feel and think important not what the
market, the super powers and the institutionalised academia of the world think
or teach us to accept and practise as important.
We do not publish pornographic or erotic materials and therefore would be
grateful if people stop submitting this sort of work.
If
you are submitting for publication TPL must have permission to publish the works
and then to archive the works as part of a particular issue (later a poet or
author cannot request us to take the work out as any works published is part of
an issue and when archived cannot be taken out. Hence by virtue of submitting
the works we would assume that authors/poets give this permission to TPL to not
only publish but also archive the works.)
The Poet's Letter
chooses not to have any submissions guidelines! All we ask is that the quality
of writing is of a high standard! Whether one is new to the craft or established
does not make any difference to us!
