Riddle Fence — RF Poetry — Submit Year-Round

Overview
Riddle Fence is a Newfoundland and Labrador-based journal of arts and culture, published three times yearly. It publishes fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and visual art, with reviews appearing online. The journal maintains a strong anti-AI policy: it opposes the use of AI tools in all creative and organizational work, citing the unethical and illegal use of writers' and artists' work without payment or consent. Work found to be generated using AI tools will not be published, without exception. For poetry submissions, all poems in a single submission should be included in a single document. Poetry may be single-spaced. Submissions should not exceed 10 pages, with 3 to 5 poems being best. No more than one poem per page. The reading period closes on March 1, 2027, and there is a $40 CAD fee. The journal's curatorial vision is rooted in a commitment to original, human-authored creative work and a broad engagement with arts and culture from Newfoundland and Labrador and beyond. While the excerpt does not specify thematic constraints, the journal's scope encompasses poetry that reflects a serious literary sensibility and contributes to the cultural conversation the journal fosters.
