Wildhouse Poetry seeks writers who engage readers’ imagination and encourage them to find authentic ways of seeing and experiencing life with all its complexities. Their work deepens readers’ understanding of this life, widening their vision to grasp previously undiscovered realities—in their own life, in the lives of others, and in the reality of the physical world to which we belong. Our interest is in poetry that roots readers in what James Joyce referred to as “the reality of experience,” offering them insights that sometimes border on epiphanies, the sort that remind us that our lives are subtler and more complex than we often imagine. Such poems should suggest something of what Robert Frost described as “an idea caught fresh in the act of dawning.”
