Best Places to Submit Poetry: A Ranking of Literary Magazines by John Fox + updated with payment/submission fees

Thanks to John Fox for putting together this amazing list of Best Places to Submit Poetry. He actually went through 5 years worth (2011 – 2015) of the anthology The Best American Poetry to see where the poems had been originally published. The result was a list of 147 literary magazines. I took this list a step further–made sure the lit mag was still around, checked their payment level, and whether or not they charge submission fees. My updated table is below.
