The latest issue of Studio, an online international poetry journal with a focus on the cultural work of poetry in contemporary society, is now out and features the work of Barry Dempster, Brian Dundas, Douglas Kerr, Leigh Nash, Lois Roma-Deeley, Jamie Ross, Ian C. Smith and Catherine Strisik.
A peer-reviewed journal published twice a year, Studio not only publishes works of poetry, but previews of new work, translations, reviews and more, while focusing on the interdisciplinary relationships between poetry, education, cultural studies and other art forms. In future issues, Studio will expand to include poetry videos, online chapbooks and themed issues.
