What is our mission?

Unlike the typical submission and anthology format of modern poetic magazines, Soul Rice encourages work created through collaboration. Our central aims surround connection and adaptation, as opposed to the individualistic model of authorship that we so often see in the modern world. We aspire to learn through each other, and to understand our distinct human experiences through our commonalities. We will promote open and generous conversation, and will encourage the exchange of technique, content, and style between participants. We urge you to think of your poetry, not as a private possession, but as something shaped by, and shared with, your community.
