Luna Luna Magazine is an independent online literary journal founded in 2013 by writer Lisa Marie Basile, devoted to what it describes as “lush poetics, fever dreams, and the dark ecstatic.” Originally a broader community publication covering identity, feminism, the occult, personal essay, and culture — and featured in outlets like BuzzFeed, Bust, and VIDA — the magazine went on hiatus before being relaunched by Basile as a focused, single-editor poetry journal. In its current form it publishes poetry and poetry book reviews exclusively, pairing work with rich visual imagery to create an immersive aesthetic reading experience. The journal has a circulation of 5,000–10,000 readers and publishes around 13 poets per month on a rolling basis.

Luna Luna seeks language-first, experimental, and hybrid poetry — the lush, ornate, and formally adventurous — with a particular fondness for prose-poetry, list-form poems, work exploring the body, folklore, spirituality, desire, and place. The journal warmly welcomes submissions from LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, low-income, immigrant, disabled, and neurodivergent writers, and has a dedicated submission stream for current and former foster youth. Submissions of up to five poems are accepted year-round via email or Submittable at no charge, with a response time of around one month. No payment is currently offered. Simultaneous submissions are accepted.
