Existere

Existere

"Existere - Journal of Arts & Literature" is a Canadian magazine, that publishes twice a year at York University's Vanier College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The magazine publishes literary work, poetry, short stories, articles, book reviews, essays, interviews, art, photography, and more.

The magazine's current publisher and executive editor is Edward Fenner (as of April 26, 2007).

Mr. Fenner has revived and revitalized the journal - releasing new issues in September 2007, April 2008, and September 2008. The goal is to restore the journal to a quarterly publication by 2010.

The magazine's current assistant editor is Delan Hamsoor. He replaced Adebe DeRango-Adem a former Toronto Junior Poet Laureate who is now pursuing a master's degree.

The journal was established at York University's Vanier College and has been funded by Vanier College Council since the journal was founded in 1978. It has largely published as a quarterly, but in recent years has published bi-annually.

"Existere" is also now on a campaign to recover information and back issues lost to the mists of time and unfortunate housekeeping. If you have information or back issues to contribute, contact: existere (at) yorku (dot) ca or via snail mail to: Existere, 101E Vanier College, York University, 4700 Keele Street, Toronto, ON, Canada, M3J 1P3.
