I first heard of Diane Lockward from the Writer's Almanac and her poem Linguini. She also wrote my husband discovers poetry which I shared with the group. Below is from her blog Blogalicious - please check it out and some of her poems.

Print Journals That Accept Online Submissions 11/14
It's been more than a year since I last updated the list of print journals that accept online submissions. This list includes 14 additions. You'll notice that a number of the journals charge a fee for the online submission. Many submitters feel that a small fee is worth it as it saves paper, stamps, and a trip to the post office.
Journals new to the list (not necessarily new journals) are indicated with a double asterisk.
The number of issues per year appears after the journal's name.
The reading period for each journal appears at the end of each entry.
Unless noted otherwise, the journal accepts simultaneous submissions.
As always, please let me know if you find any errors here. And good luck.
