Arc 73: Canada's Up-and-At-You Poetry Magazine

by John Barton, Roo Borson, Tim Bowling

In this issue of Arc Poetry Magazine, some of Canada’s most established poets—award-winners, editors, creative writing teachers, and mentors among them—introduce up-and-coming poets that you’ll want to watch. Find out what writers such as John Barton, Medrie Purdham, and Priscila Uppal have to say about Ben Ladouceur, Cassidy McFadzean, and Leigh Nash—just some of the emerging talents you’ll read about in Arc 73.

The winter 2014 issue also features a selection of new work by acclaimed poet Tim Bowling, Arc’s Poet-in-Residence for 2012–2013. Russell Thornton offers a review of Tim’s work by way of introduction, and Tim’s confession of how much his work draws on that very simple/utterly complex notion of love will come as no surprise to anyone who has read the work of this remarkable Canadian poet over the past two decades. Rounding out our Poet-in-Residence feature is a selection of work by eight poets who Tim mentored over the past year.
