"seventeen
seconds: a journal of poetry and poetics comes out as the natural
extension of
the eight issues of Poetics.ca edited by rob mclennan and
Stephen Brockwell. Highlighting the diversity of voice, style, practice
and politic, seventeen seconds continues the resolve to provide a forum
for dialogue on contemporary poetics, with a focus on Canadian writing.
Over the past two decades, the amount of critical writing published in
print literary journals on Canadian poetry, specifically, seems to have
decreased dramatically, but slowly returned through a number of online
journals. seventeen seconds simply wishes to help strengthen the
dialogue and the ongoing conversation about writing through publishing
new writing, and conversation about new writing. How else are we
supposed to learn anything, unless we keep talking?"--
