Special Issue on French Repeating Forms 2026

Thank you for sending work in the French repeating forms to Ecotone, and many thanks for your patience as we have reviewed them. We have given these poems careful consideration, and regret that we did not find a fit among them for our upcoming issues.

We received more work in these forms than we thought we would, and are pleased that folks are using them with such playfulness, determination, and skill. Thanks again for sharing yours with us. We'll certainly keep publishing poems made with them, so feel free to send more our way in a future reading period if you make more, especially of the lesser-used ones, and especially inhabiting noniambic meters.

With our best wishes,

Poetry Editors
