/from the editors/

Welcome to canon magazine’s third and final issue of the 2007-2008 academic year. It has been our sincere pleasure to bring canon to you. We will miss it.

This year, we brought canon from its print format to its current online format, hoping to save on cost, increase distribution, and house all of the magazine’s prior issues in one accessible space. Plus, we think it looks really great online.

What you’ll find in the May 2008 issue is a range even we didn’t expect. Fiction and non, poetry and prose, confession and critique, it’s all here. Thirteen writers, ten genres; canon is more than alive and well.

We are endlessly grateful to our contributors for working with our new format and submitting such fine and varied work. We are also grateful to Tsuya Yee, Laura Martin, Jeff Prout, Kim Gruber, and Robin Lester, for all their help this year. Make sure to visit canonmagazine.org in the fall, when the new editors will be looking for submissions.

In the mean time, please join us for our end-of-the-year reading at KGB Bar (85 E. 4th St., btwn Cooper and 2nd Ave.), Wednesday, May 14th, from 7-9pm.

Here is a list, in alphabetical order, of the 2007-08 canon contributors who will be reading at the event:
Conor Clarke, Suzanne Farrell, Carlos Figeuroa, I-Yi Hsieh, Ellen Killoran, Robin Lester, Israel Loeb,
Shaun Nanavati, Serdar Paktin, Roy Scranton, Harley Spiller, Ted Strauss, and Justin Wolf.

Hope to see you there!

Our best,

Justin Wolf & Suzanne Farrell
The 2007-08 Editors
