Dogwood

A Journal of Poetry and Prose

Dogwood: A Journal of Poetry and Prose is Fairfield University's annual literary magazine, edited by Dr. Kim Bridgford and Dr. Michael C. White. Each year this national magazine runs a competition with $1,000 prizes in poetry and fiction. Dogwood has published poets such as Elton Glaser, Allison Joseph, Virgil Suarez, and Joshua Mehigan, and fiction writers such as Eric Gabriel Lehman, Nalini Jones, Tom Hazuka, and Gina Ochsner.

Judges for the competition have included former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, NEA Chairman Dana Gioia, and Oprah book club author A. Manette Ansay. Work from Dogwood has been selected for The Pushcart Prize Anthology and has been featured on Verse Daily.

Students gain hands-on experience in editing the journal by taking The World of Publishing (Poetry) or The World of Publishing (Fiction), and may also intern on Dogwood.
