Wagtail 2.5
Wagtail poetry magazine is our flagship product, published eleven times a year. Each issue features sixteen pages of poetry from a single contributor. Most of the content is reprint material; a major objective of the series is to keep enough good work in print for readers to form a considered opinion of each poet’s voice and style. A list of each contributor’s books is printed on the back cover so you’ll know immediately where to look for more. Selections are accessible, as our largest market after subscribers is schools. All back issues remain in print; as a series, Wagtail is an ad hoc 1600+ page rolling anthology of the best Australian poetry, and it grows a bit each month. Single issues are available for $4/each; a year’s subscription costs just $40. Back issues are available individually, or at subscription prices.
