Canthius is a new Canadian literary journal, with a mandate to publish poetry and short fiction by women and queer-identified writers. The first two (print-only) editions are filled with impressive prose and verse, and are beautifully designed too - a very encouraging sign that the printed word remains vital and engaging.

Cira Nickel, one of the editors, recently conducted an in-depth interview with Svetlana Lilova, after reading and admiring her Metaphysical Dictionary. For the full interview, visit the Canthius blog - and order a print issue while you're there.
