Online Poetry Micro-Residency

The Australian-based online arts publication Running Dog is calling for applications from emerging or established poets for their December 2022/January 2023 Poetry Micro-Resident project.

How does it work?

The micro-residency will be offered to one poet for a duration of two months. During this time, the poet in residence will produce two poems (ideally one per month, but the poet is also able to share both works at the end of the two-month period). These two poems will be distributed via Running Dog’s monthly newsletter to our readership.

All poetry micro-residents are paid for their work.

Running Dog is looking for writing that is contemplative, experimental and new. The selected poet is encouraged to develop poetry during the residency, so the expression of interest is all that is needed for now.

Running Dog particularly encourages submissions from diverse writers, including First Nation, queer and/or trans writers, people of colour and writers of all genders and abilities. Previous experience working within the arts writing field is not required. Applicants can find all the work of past poetry residents on Running Dog’s poetry page.
