Note: the 2015 Rankings for Poetry are now available. Go here.

The 2014 Pushcart Prize Ranking of Literary Magazines for Poetry is set forth below.

For comparisons, see the the 2013 Poetry Ranking here.

There isn’t a whole new to learn from the list this year. Poetry maintains a sizable lead. Kenyon and American Poetry Review switch places. It’s nice to see a couple of online journals, like Collagist, show up on the list for the first time.
