Call for poetry submissions: Rabbit Annual 2026

We are pleased to open for submissions for our 2026 Rabbit Annual of nonfiction poetry. Once again, we welcome poems that explore, interrogate and push the boundaries of nonfiction writing, and are interested in reading poetic engagements with auto/biography, documentary, history, politics, economics, mathematics, cultural analysis, science, the environment, and all other aspects of real-world experience, recollection and interpretation. 

Your submission must include the following:

·       1-3 unpublished* poems (preferably in word doc, though pdf also acceptable)

·       A short bio (50 words max.)

·       A short answer to the following Rabbit question: What is a 'nonfiction poem' that you would offer to a young or new reader of poetry?

DEADLINE: 11:59pm, May 30, 2026

We are thrilled that our guest co-editors for this 2026 Rabbit Annual are Jaya Savige and Susie Anderson.
