The honor—the prestige!—of being published online
by one of Canada’s oldest literary magazines! That’s
what’s in it for you! If your work is selected, you will
receive a free copy of TAR’s latest issue. Unfortunately
we are not able to reward our online contributors monetarily
at this time. The Poet Grow-Op is a new venture at The Antigonish
Review which aims to provide emerging artists with exposure
and publication experience. Honor and prestige aside, it’s
opportunity we want to provide students.
As things are, and as fundamentally
they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game.
No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value
of what he has written. He my have wasted his time and messed
up his life for nothing.
