Periodics, an experimental magazine of literature and theory, was first published in the spring of 1977 by Paul de Barros and Daphne Marlatt. Periodics ran for four years without ever having an official office, only a postal box at Station K in Vancouver as a place to receive manuscripts. Nearly a hundred authors appeared in the magazine during its few years in print, including Michael Ondaatje, bpNichol, Artie Gold, Robert Kroetsch, Kathy Acker, Fred Wah and Charles Bernstein. The final issue of Periodics, numbers 7 and 8, appeared in the winter of 1981.
