The New Chief Tongue
THE NEW CHIEF TONGUE is a rough cut innovative poetry magazine published 1-3 times a year by Laurel Reed Books. The adventure of the tongue is that it celebrates poetry of all kinds. From lyric to sound to concrete to visual to haiku and on. The editors of TNCT believe very strongly in the poetics of inclusion, that genre is a door, a window, not a wall.

PRECIPICe
PRECIPICe is published by the Department of English Language and Literature at Brock University and publishes experimental writing of all types.
Other Cl/utter
Other Cl/utter is an online gallery space designed to explore “text as art”. Taking inspiration from the visual poetry of bpNichol and Steve McCaffrey the site has set out to examine text (words, letters, phrases, sentences, found text, pictures etc.) as an inherently visual space. Contributors are often artists and poets who view language and its component parts as visual objects that lend themselves to shifting meanings and therefore recognize that words visually contain multiple entryways into understanding. Other Clutter is a space for both writers and artists to dismantle and reconstruct the political and representational overtones of text and art.

Existere
Existere was founded and first published in 1978 as a student-run journal covering literature and poetry. In 1980, the journal began publishing regular issues. Over nearly three decades, Existere has largely published as a quarterly, but in recent years has published semi-annually. Content, focus, and presentation has varied widely over the years, but has always included poetry and short stories as its core. Photography, reviews, art, essays, and postcard stories, novel chapters, and much more have appeared on our pages. Existere will continue to be a student-run journal and publish fiction, photography, and art, but will also add more non-fiction, reviews, and criticism as we grow.

We are interested in representing both new and established artists, with a specific focus on positioning Canadian talent within an international context. The magazine may be seen as a place for creative cross-pollination between global and Canadian creators. We are currently distributed throughout Canada and the USA.
: : : : Founded in 1983, Carousel has published over 20 varied editions to date. In that time, the magazine has generally been published on a yearly basis, though it experienced a brief hiatus at the end of the 1990s. The resurrected magazine resumed publishing in 2001, and we have since published seven new volumes. In 2004, we increased our publishing schedule to twice annually (new issues are now published in the Spring and Fall).

Bywords publishes on a monthly basis poems on the web, a Calendar of Literary Events, and the Bywords Quarterly Journal. Its aims are to publish emerging and established poets who reside, study or work in Ottawa. Bywords will reflect Ottawa's rich multicultural diversity.
Bywords was founded in the Fall of 1990 by a group of editors, staff, students, and alumni of the University of Ottawa. The group was brought together by Heather Ferguson of Agawa Press, Seymour Mayne of the Department of English, and Gwen Guth, a doctoral graduate in the Department.
The bywords.ca team is a dedicated group of motivated volunteers who would like to make Bywords a strong literary force in Ottawa. Our goal is to turn bywords.ca into the focal point for Ottawa poetry, literary information, and events.
