Research - Journals

The Department of English is home for three important scholarly/literary journals.

Canadian Poetry: Studies, Documents, Reviews
is published twice yearly, and is devoted to the study of poetry from all periods in Canada (see also the Canadian Poetry Project, under Research Projects).

Department Professor Emeritus Frank Davey is the founder and editor of Open Letter, a journal written primarily by Canadian writers and artists, and featuring critical and theoretical discussions of poetics and Canadian culture.

Horror Studies, a journal exclusively examining horror, will provide interested professionals with an opportunity to read outstanding scholarship from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including work conceived as interdisciplinary.
