Welcoming Hannah Smith as Poetry Editor!

We're excited to announce that Hannah Smith has joined the Deep Vellum team as Poetry Editor. A Dallas native, Hannah also works as a contributing writer and production manager at Southwest Review. She holds an MFA in Poetry from the Ohio State University, and a BA in History from Stanford University. Her poems appear in Best New Poets, Gulf Coast, Prairie Schooner, Ninth Letter, Image Journal, and elsewhere. Hannah is the co-author of two collaborative chapbooks, Metal House of Cards (Finishing Line Press, 2024) and Astral Gaze (dancing girl press, forthcoming). Her writing has been supported by the Bread Loaf Writing Conference and Yaddo Residency. 

Hannah is a visionary force in the poetry world, and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome her to the team. She will acquire, edit, and promote Deep Vellum's poetry list, including books written in English and in translation.

Deep Vellum will open for poetry submissions during the month of March, through our Submittable page. Please subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on social media for additional updates on submissions. For all other inquiries, you can reach Hannah at hannah@deepvellum.org.
