Dear Traces readers & subscribers,
We’re excited to release the second issue of Traces Journal: Ascension 2025. This time around, we’re trying something a little different and plan to slowly release the entire issue over the month of May. We hope this will give you more time to work through the excellent poetry and prose over the next few weeks and allow us to spotlight the fantastic contributors in this latest issue.
As always, we encourage you to read, share, like, comment, and become a paid subscriber (if you are able) to support our work at Traces.
New Poetry
We have another great lineup of Canadian poetry coming your way. Check out these new poems from Angeline Schellenberg, Jesse Keith Butler, & Jeffrey Hynds!
