About For over 30 years, Arc Poetry Magazine has been bringing great poetry to readers in Canada and beyond. At Arc we find the brave new voices. We dig up the dead and too-soon-forgotten. We tackle the burning questions: What, say, is hockey poetry really about? What is with this ghazal fad? And: would you dare to be the next Anon? Arc features poetry that is woozy, yap-happy, cunning and smoking, and prose that offers a new perspective on the verse you thought you knew. Get Arc. Get poems. Get happy!
