Join us in celebrating Arc’s huge milestone — 100 issues of everything poetry.
To use the words of our Reviews Editor Emily Stewart, we “hope you consider the unrecorded, unquantifiable creative efforts that have gone into this issue and the ninety-nine before it. I hope you recognize the talent and labour that make this magazine happen. And I hope you realize, without any uncertainty, that one hundred issues of Arc Poetry would not have been possible without you, without the literary community that has grown alongside Arc.”
There are so many ways to celebrate a milestone such as this one. In this issue, we have emerging and established poets from across Canada and beyond, showcasing the vibrant world of poetry we are fortunate to live in.
