It publishes poems both by established writers, such as Philip Levine, Jane Hirshfield, Billy Collins, Sharon Olds, Gregory Orr, Patricia Smith, and Anis Mojgani, and by new and emerging poets. Poems from the magazine have been reprinted in The Best American Poetry[4] and Pushcart Prize[5] anthologies.

Each issue is themed to honour a particular community of poets, such as teachers, slam poets, or, most recently, Los Angeles poets. Interviews with contemporary poets are also a staple. Though primarily dedicated to its print issues, the magazine's website also hosts other material, including audio archives[6] and reviews of contemporary poetry.[7]
