About

The Maynard, an online poetry journal, is a space for emerging and experienced writers from Canada and around the world, striving to feature work that challenges perceived boundaries (lyric, narrative, etc.) of the written word. Rather than themes, each issue of The Maynard showcases artistic conversations represented via shared or disparate aesthetics, subjects, and styles.
