Dear Readers, Contributors, Benefactors, and Submitters,
With sadness we announce that Panoply is suspended indefinitely. It’s likely that Issue 30 was our final issue, to be confirmed. We regret this decision, announcing it with heavy hearts.
Panoply began in the spring of 2015, three friends sharing coffee. We sensed something missing here in Pensacola, something concrete, reliable, global. Thus Panoply was born, our first issue appearing that August. Since then, we’ve published about 1500 glowing treasures of poetry and flash prose from 49 US States and over 50 foreign countries. What a marvel that Panoply has been read in over 160 countries! Our goal has always been to focus on the writing, not the writer. We proudly debuted quite a few writers alongside Pushcart Prize nominees and winners, and even a Pulitzer Prize nominee. What pride and gratitude we’ve felt! We’ve always affirmed, “We’re aficionados, not scholars.” We published what we appreciated and hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. In fact, the very name Panoply indicates our intention to publish variety.
If you’ve submitted to Panoply since March 23, 2025, we suggest that you submit that work elsewhere. We do not expect to review any submissions in the short term. Though you do not need to withdraw the submissions from our Submittable service, feel free to do so. Best wishes for success!
Likewise, if you’ve made a donation to Panoply this year, we recognize that you may desire us to return it. Just contact Jeff via email. We thank you for your generosity. “Bandwidth ain’t cheap!” And neither is our submissions manager.
Should we take up Panoply again, we’ll do our best to post here, the Facebook page, and via our own outlets.
In the meantime, we wish you all inspiration, creativity, and diligence. May the Muse befriend and betroth you. Thank you for thinking of Panoply.
All our best,
Andrea, Clara, and Jeff, Editors

Hi Jeff, I’m so sorry to hear this news about Panoply! For 10 years, you’ve been a wonderful contributor to the world of poetry. You’ve also been a good friend of my poetry–not only publishing it, but also reviewing my first chapbook, Clerk of the Dead. I hope you and your team are well, and that you will enjoy your new-found free time to pursue other interests. All the best to you! Warm regards, Alan

You were my first ever publication way back in issue 7! That was my sophomore year of undergrad. One MFA and many more poems, essays, and other god-knows-whats later, and I’ll still never forget the thrill of knowing some person who I’d never met thought my work was worth sharing. Thanks for everything!
