about subTerrain
subTerrain magazine is published 3 times a year from modest offices
just off of Main Street in Vancouver, BC.

"We strive to produce a stimulating fusion of fiction, poetry, photography and graphic illustration from uprising Canadian, U.S. & International writers and artists.
If you crave provocative art & writing in your life, then get yourself a subscription to this sometimes subconscious, often in-subordinate, but never submissive literary magazine."
