Rights Information

We ask for first serial rights and anthology rights (for any future anthology of poems with selections from a series of publication years of the journal). We also ask for the right to post poems from the issues on our social media platforms (Instagram, FaceBook, Bluesky) and/or electronically on our Web site or in our email disseminations. All other rights revert to the author upon publication, with the expectation that Presence will be credited when poems are republished.

Acknowledgments should cite in the following manner: "Poem or prose title" was originally published in Presence: A Journal of Catholic Poetry 2017 [i.e. the appropriate year].
