The New Vancouver Poets

Vancouver is a transient space. The common joke is that you never have a friend who was actually born and raised in Vancouver. With that in mind we created this folio as a snapshot of new poets who, for right now, call Vancouver home. Our call for submissions had a significant response, and this folio could have been double in size, and based on the amount of exciting new poets creating new work, could constantly change.

Both editors decided that we would only choose poems in agreement. That we agreed so often makes the Vancouver poetry community’s present and future look bright. In this folio you will find work ranging in styles and form, as diverse as the poets themselves. Poetry that moves quickly and slowly, ever-changing and reshaping, reflecting the physical landscape of Vancouver today. We hope you enjoy!
