For over forty years, The Capilano Review (TCR) has supported and been sustained by a vibrant community of readers, writers, and artists interested in experimentation in writing and art. An independent publication since 2015, TCR was founded in 1972 by Pierre Coupey at Capilano College in North Vancouver. Each issue features full-colour art sections, poetry, short essays, reviews, and interviews. Apart from publishing three print and digital issues of the magazine each year, we host an annual Writer-in-Residence, two annual contests, and numerous workshops, readings, and other events. We also mentor up to four interns per year. To receive monthly news on upcoming issues, open submission periods, contests and other events, sign up to our newsletter. TCR is located in the Woodward’s Heritage building in Downtown Vancouver. Our publication and its members respectfully acknowledge that our organization is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are committed to reflecting and cultivating the city’s diverse writing and art communities, particularly as they undertake and interrogate the necessary work of decolonization.
