Poetry Open

BAD DOG wants poetry that you’re afraid to share anywhere else—visceral, intelligent, and without restraint. If it has been rejected, we want it. If your poetry workshop said it’s no good, we want it. If you think it will never see the light of a day, we want it. Send us the work that will make us laugh, fart, scream, burp, cry, squirm, and rage with jealously because we never thought to write it. We accept work from anyone but we do have a focus on Canadian poetry.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
