Join our friends at Canadian Literature for the launch of “Verse Forward: Poetry on the Front Lines,” a new reading series hosted by the journal. The inaugural event in the series features a diverse panel of both established and emerging voices speaking on themes of home, race, identity, and the environments we live in.
