- Jubilat
jubilat is a widely-distributed American poetry journal published by the
MFA Program for Poets & Writers at theUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst . From the first issue onward, jubilat has aimed to publish not only the best in contemporary American poetry, but to place it alongside a varied selection of reprints, found pieces, lyric prose, art, and interviews with poets and other artists. Rather than section off these varieties of work, the magazine creates a dialogue that showcases the beauty and strangeness of the ordinary, and how experiments with language and image speak in a compelling way about who we are.National Acclaim & Honors:
