Dream Catcher 23 has arrived in Canada!

Dream Catcher 23, the first British literary anthology in fifteen years to focus on Canadian writing, is now available in Canada. Some of its highlights include award-winning Barry Dempster, regarded as one of Canada's finest poets, and Maureen Hynes, winner of Gerald Lampert Prize and the Petra Kenny award.

DC 23 also includes George Amabile, who has appeared in over 100 anthologies and journals internationally and John B Lee, with 50 books published, who has won the Winston Collins Award for the best Canadian poem. The range of this magazine/anthology is vast, from the young Domenico Capilongo to P.K. Page, the veteran poet and winner of Governor General's Award, who joined the Griffin Prize shortlist a few years ago. Along with poetry, Steven Bock's wonderfully witty and moving urban story 'Bonsai Garden' shows Canadian short fiction is as strong as ever. Canadian writing participates in a large number of genres and sub-cultures; many are represented in issue 23.

Additionally there are reviews of leading Canadian poets such as Garry Gottfriedson, Jeanette Lynes, Katherine Lawrence, Randall Maggs, and Don Domanski.
