Dog Throat Journal - Fiction
(Poetry)
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Note: if your work is accepted, wait an issue before submitting again.
Dog Throat Journal looks for unusual, thought provoking flash fiction and prose poetry that you likely won't find in mainstream publications. We want your odd, your offbeat, your unconventional, your beautiful poetic prose. Strangeness is good, healthy. It allows us to see other points of view. We look for well crafted articulate pieces that make language dance, that speak to themes that outlive the moment, work that may contradict itself, just like human beings do, work that explores and exposes the mysticism of everyday life, work from the edges of artistic expression and freedom. We want work that rises above and defies genre.
