Two years ago, this international-now-based in Ottawa literary journal of “bold new fiction” would have arrived in 8½ by 11 magazine format complete with slick cover and ads. Today, the new has downsized to a chapbook format, each cover of this issue marked with unique artwork provided by the editor’s three-year-old son. It’s an admittedly more intimate touch than a glossy cover, and in the perilous world of Canadian independent literary magazines, a sign that the magazine is alive and well. It may come as no surprise that even in the world of Canadian literary magazines, there seem to be two solitudes: the seemingly stable bastion of mainstream magazines, as represented by the Grains , the Geists , and the Arc Poetrys , and the magazines that promise grit — the undertone of subcultures, the urban tales, and yes, stories that reflect the slow, steady rise of Canadian erotica (See “ You Said Beaver ”).
