WRITE ON!

A new magazine, YARROW MAGAZINE has been launched into interspace with a mandate to promote established and emerging Indigenous writers and editors is online. The first issue, currently online features new maybe this issue will be the first moment when their literary talents will become public. Yarrow will accept poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction from Indigenous writers from Canada. The magazine will also accept pitches for book reviews by Indigenous writers and artists, or interviews with Indigenous writers and artists.

Jordan Abel, one of the four co-founders of YARROW MAGAZINE says that in addition to publishing Indigenous writers, the team also wants to train editors in how to approach work by Indigenous writers.The thing that’s unique about Indigenous literatures is that they’re written by Indigenous peoples with Indigenous perspectives, and those perspectives and the kinds of things that are at play in Indigenous writing are sometimes totally apparent, and sometimes not.

Jordan Abel expresses a multifacited vision of YARROW MAGAZINE that is inspiring and exciting and I wish him and YARROW MAGAZINE great success!
