PRISM

PRISM international, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, is western Canada’s oldest literary magazine. It is edited by MFA candidates enrolled in the Creative Writing Program at UBC and published from the offices there. Early contributors to the magazine included Margaret Laurence, George Bowering and Alden Nowlan, and over the years PRISM has published work by hundreds of other writers, in Canada and abroad, in English and in translation. These include Margaret Atwood, Jorge Luis Borges, Raymond Carver, Lorna Crozier, Seamus Heaney, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Michael Ondaatje, Carol Shields and Tennessee Williams.
