The Humber Literary Review, a new magazine of art and writing based out of the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences, is currently seeking a new poetry editor to join its editorial collective. All candidates must be faculty at Humber (full-time or part-time), and must have a strong awareness of Canadian writing, and Canadian poetry in particular. The HLR publishes twice a year, and is distributed by Magazines Canada. The poetry editor is responsible for receiving and reading all submissions of poetry, and selecting and editing poems for publication, and corresponding with the authors. The editor must also attend on-campus meetings of the editorial collective, which occur throughout the year. (North Campus)

The HLR is extremely grateful for the contributions and hard work done by its previous poetry editor, Mathew Henderson. Mathew is a graduate of the Guelph-Humber MFA program and a part-time teacher at Humber. He is also a published poet, whose first collection, Lease, was called “spare and eloquent” by The New York Times. Mathew will select and edit poems for the HLR’s third issue, currently in production and due out this spring.

All interested candidates should contact Editor Dana Hansen (Dana.Hansen@humber.ca) or Acting Managing Editor Nathan Whitlock (Nathan.whitlock@humber.ca).
