Phi Kappa Phi Forum

Since 1915, the Phi Kappa Phi Forum has provided members with coverage of the Society and the world at large, reaching more than 100,000 readers, including active members, government officials, libraries, executives and others.

The Forum is available digitally to all active members and can be accessed online and on mobile devices  as a benefit of membership. Print subscriptions are available upon request. Please be sure the Society has your up-to-date contact information by visiting your member profile. 

Submit Your Original Poetry

The Phi Kappa Phi Forum welcomes submissions of original, previously unpublished poetry that fits the theme of each edition. Poems will be selected to appear in the print version of the magazine, though others may appear online. Submissions must be under 40 lines, and poets can submit 1-3 poems as a single submission. We pay $4 per line for published poems.

Poets published in Forum must wait one year before entering again. If you don’t hear from us within two months, feel free to submit your poem elsewhere. Our volume of submissions can limit our ability to respond to every declined submission.

Upcoming editions and themes

Our themes for each Forum issue in 2027 will focus on some aspect of community. Our spring issue will be about neighbors, the summer issue will be about third places, fall will focus on volunteering and winter will cover kindness. 

Become a Forum Book Reviewer

The Phi Kappa Phi Forum seeks writers to serve as book reviewers. Books associated with the theme will be chosen by the Forum editor, and the length of the review should be 500 words.

To be considered, please email the Forum editor with a brief description of your professional credentials and why you would like to be chosen as a reviewer. Please also include additional links and/or attachments of writing samples. The selected reviewer will receive a free copy of the book and five copies of the Forum in which the review appears.
