Gutter Eloquence Magazine is a bi-monthly, online
journal of free verse poetry. A separate print edition
will be published once annually, with mid-summer as
the intended time of release.

The intent of G.E.M. is to publish the best voices of
the underground lit scene--and beyond. Both new
and established poets are welcome, but keep this
in mind:  this zine seeks high-quality, high-octane
writing--two-fisted free verse that pulls no punches
and takes no prisoners!

The writers on these pages are real, gritty, gutsy
and unafraid to speak their minds. These poets are
not one-dimensional, however. So, you'll sometimes
see their bold individualism tempered by a touch of
vulnerability. Because we are, after all, human...
even here in the gutter.

In the future, it's possible that this magazine may
branch out into flash fiction and other realms...but
for now, at least, G.E.M. is all poetry, all of the time.
I hope you enjoy it!
