About

Rabbit encourages poets to openly engage with auto/biography, history, politics, economics, mathematics, cultural analysis, science, the environment, and all other aspects of real world experience, recollection and interpretation.
Founded by Jessica L. Wilkinson, Rabbit publishes all things poetry — poems, reviews, essays on poetry and poetics, interviews with poets, and visual art by poets — with an emphasis on new and emerging rabbits (poets) and a focus on supporting Australian poetry.
Rabbit is proudly supported by RMIT University and non/fictionLAB.

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.
