New poetry magazine from B.C. belies its name -- Poetry is Dead

A new semi-annual publication called Poetry is Dead magazine is being launched in BC, and expects soon to publish 1,000 copies of its first issue, with the theme death/rebirth.

"We publish any form of poem that is intriguing, hilarious, ridiculous, inspiring, timely, unfortunate or provocative," say the editors. "We are looking for Canadian poets with a style for the current, relevant, topical, political, smart, hilarious and brilliant. Exactly in that order."
