Every issue of 6x6 contains six poets who are each given six pages to present their work; we encourage projects that specifically explore the format. 6x6 publishes poets of all ages from all over the U.S. and abroad, and we aim to include a poet in translation in every issue. We put out two to three issues a year, and submissions are encouraged year round.

6x6 is sold nearly at cost, making it easier on the pocket to delve into new poetry. Though in recent years we had to switch from printing the guts on a home laser printer to using an offset printer, there's still much that's DIY about the mag, including the cut corners and rubber bands. With the help of volunteers, we do much of the assembly by hand and the letterpressed covers make every copy unique.
Ugly Duckling Presse released the first issue of 6x6 in July 2000, edited and produced by Julien Poirier, Filip Marinovic, Matvei Yankelevich, and G. L. Ford.
Despite a fire at 6x6's Morningside Heights headquarters in March 2002, the magazine came back later that year, and has growing ever since. Circulation is up to 1,100 copies for 2009. We are grateful for the continued support of the New York State Council on the Arts and our subscribers and volunteers to keeping the magazine alive and well. In past years, Anna Moschovakis, Genya Turovskaya, David Jou, Garth Graeper and Phil Cordelli have all joined the editorial group for various spans of time. The current editors are: G.L Ford, Will Hubbard, and Matvei Yankelevich (for winter 2010). We're working on 6x6 #20.
Current issues, plus certain back issues of the magazine are still available at our periodicals page.
