Our Newsletter


Voices Israel publishes a monthly newsletter, produced by our Secretary, containing items of interest to members – upcoming Voices Israel events; where to submit poetry, members’ publications, as well as poetry readings, workshops, and other items of poetic interest. Organizations and members with poetry news of interest -please send to our newsletter editor at: newsletter.voices@gmail.com

Originally hand-typed and stenographed (those were the days!), our Newsletter is now a colourful PDF emailed to our members.

The monthly section of the Newsletter called “Group Poetry Selections” showcases poems by Voices members, from Israel and abroad, that were selected by each Voices Israel group to be featured that month. Members can also submit, directly to the editor, other poems they would like to see appear in the newsletter. These independent submissions are encouraged, and included — as space permits — in a separate Poets’ Corner section of the newsletter, after the section for the group poetry selections.

Samples of the Voices Israel monthly newsletter will be emailed upon request: please contact  our Newsletter editor.  To view copies from the current calendar year, please click the links below. To view newsletters from previous years (July 2020 to the end of the calendar year before the current one) please see the Newsletter Archive page. Note that the version of the Newsletter on this website does not include the two sections of poetry selections. This is because the inclusion of a poem in a newsletter circulated only to a closed list of members is not considered publication and does not preclude the poet from submitting it for publication elsewhere, but most literary magazines do count as “published” the poems included on a website.

Poems published on this Voices Israel website and files linked to it, including in our newsletters, competition announcements, and workshop chapbooks, are sole copyright of the poets themselves. Voices Israel expressly does not give permission for reproduction or syndication elsewhere without the poets’ written permission.
