Artspace Residents

It is the vision-quest of Contemporary Verse 2: The Canadian Journal of Poetry and Critical Writing to get as many readers as possible to try poetry and like it. It is a mission we take very seriously and to this end CV2 publishes an exciting range of interviews, essays, articles and reviews together with new poetic writing to create a lively discussion on the art of poetry, the poets, and the issues. CV2 currently features content primarily in English, but it continues to accept the same range of writing in French for publication in its pages.

CV2 is all about poetry and about all poetry. Published four times a year out of Winnipeg, CV2 is nationally respected for its openness to a diverse range of poets and poetic styles. From fresh to familiar and from traditional lyric to extreme language wrangling—we’re not afraid to take it on.

CV2 is published by Contemporary Verse 2 Inc., a registered charity which has made it a mission to: Advance the understanding and appreciation of contemporary poetry through the publication of Contemporary Verse 2: The Canadian Journal of Poetry and Critical Writing and related activities. Some of these related activities include internships, readings, workshops and the development of an educational resource for teaching poetry in the classroom.
