So, we have just under a week to continue receiving submissions, which are due on July 1st. If you have a story idea, poem, piece of artwork or philosophy paper on either time or eternity, please consider sending it in! We’re working hard to get the next issue looking good.

The fall issue has the theme of “Work,” and I’m considering “Poverty, Chastity and Obedience” as the winter theme: it would give authors and artists a bit more room to explore, because they could choose from three different themes. After all, poverty is one of the classic themes of philosophy; poetry often deals with chastity, or the lack thereof, and there are many short stories that deal with obedience, especially obeying God. However, feel free to suggest a better, or a theme you’d like to work with in the spring issue!

By the way, I don’t have the time (or bandwidth) to read a ton of blogs, so it generally takes me a while to find the really good ones – hence the short list on the left. If you have any recommended links, please tell me. I probably just don’t know about the blog. I don’t want to link to polarizing blogs, especially those critical of the Faith or the Magisterium, and it would be best if they have a cultural or Canadian focus.

We are planning a poetry workshop this August for all those interested in Catholic poetry in Canada – it will probably be in Toronto, and we’re still deciding the date, so please get in touch if you are interested.
