About
About The Capilano Review
For over fifty years, The Capilano Review (TCR) has supported and been sustained by a vibrant community of readers, writers, and artists committed to experimentation in writing and art. Since 1972, TCR has published work by more than 1,500 contributors and has been a vital gathering space for creative practitioners and cultural critics in Vancouver, British Columbia, and across Canada. Editorially, we’re committed to articulating the view from here and seeking out new work from the wider world of our national, international, and post-national networks. We believe a space to experiment, play, challenge, upend, and subvert is essential to the creation of art and writing that has the capacity to redefine, reimagine, and subtly remake our world.
Our issues feature full-colour art sections and artists’ projects, poetry, fiction, essays, interviews, and reviews. In addition to publishing two print and digital issues of the magazine each year, we also host an annual Writer-in-Residence, thematic writing contests, and numerous workshops, readings, and other events. We also offer paid editorial internships.
To receive news on upcoming issues, events, open submission periods, writing contests, and more, sign up for our newsletter here.
TCR was founded in 1972 by Pierre Coupey at Capilano College in North Vancouver, and has been an independent publication since 2015. Read more about the magazine’s history here.
The Capilano Review’s offices are situated in the Woodward’s Heritage building in Downtown Vancouver. Our organization respectfully acknowledges that we carry out our operations on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. “Capilano” is an anglicization of the Indigenous name qiyəplenəxʷ, an important hereditary title. Learn more about the name Capilano here.
