Tell us the story of your ancestors, your lineage, and the blood that courses through your veins. Artists and writers from all across what we now know as “Canada” fill the pages of this issue with a resounding force of resistance, of a power that no institution or system could ever bestow upon a person or people.

Issue 2.1: of the Living Hyphen magazine brings you a collection of over sixty pieces of poetry, prose, photography, and visual art capturing a fierce expression of our resistance across generations, and all the ways in which we rise.

In this inaugural issue of Living Hyphen, artists and writers from all across Canada hailing from over thirty ethnicities, religions, and Indigenous nations combined, reveal the many ways figurative doorways have shaped their identities. We give you a collection of over fifty pieces of poetry, prose, photography, and visual art exploring the theme of entrances and exits in its many forms.

Entrances & Exits is 122 pages, perfect bound, and printed in full colour on FSC-approved paper in Toronto, Canada.
