Existere

Existere - Journal of Arts & Literature is a Canadian magazine, that publishes twice a year at York University's Vanier College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The magazine publishes literary work, poetry, short stories, articles, book reviews, essays, interviews, art, photography, and more.

The magazine's new executive editor is Edward Fenner (as of April 26, 2007).

Mr. Fenner seeks to revive and revitalize the journal; and release a new edition in the autumn of 2007 - marking the journal's 27th volume. The goal is to restore the journal to a quarterly publication this year or next.

The journal was estabished at York University's Vanier College and has been funded by Vanier College Council since the journal was founded circa 1980. It has largely published as a quarterly, but in recent years has published bi-annually.

Existere is also now on a campaign to recover information and back issues lost to the mists of time and unfortunate housekeeping.
