The stated mission of the magazine is "to seek out and share work of fresh and lasting power, poems that speak startling, complicated, necessary truths and that do so in surprising and beautiful ways," and work "that pushes boundaries of content, aesthetic, and form." As a consequence of these policies they are known for sometimes publishing very long poems.
Included among the poets whose work has been featured in Beloit are Sherman Alexie, Bruce Bond, Charles Bukowski, Maxine Cassin, Eduardo C. Corral, Patricia Goedicke, Albert Goldbarth, Ramon Guthrie, Janice N. Harrington, Lola Haskins, Janet Holmes, Fady Joudah, Douglas Kearney, Galway Kinnell, Maxine Kumin, Mary Leader, Khaled Mattawa, and Sharon Olds.
