When Ricepaper first began 20 years ago, its content was mainly focused on the experience of marginalized Asian communities in Canada. It still publishes with this mandate, but as time progressed, the magazine evolved along with its readership to become a forum for creative works, interviews, profiles and reviews of more contemporary Asian communities. Since becoming a strictly digital magazine in 2016, Ricepaper expanded the breadth of its content to include work from Asian writers both in Canada and abroad. In celebration of its first year online, this anthology is made up of poetry, fiction and nonfiction acquired during this time.
