The Mitre: Over a Century of Creative Writing at Bishop's
The Mitre is Bishop's University's literary magazine, published by the Students' Representative Council (SRC), wherein students of all departments, as well as alumni, express their creative talents in all its forms: Prose, Poetry, Drama, Photography and Art. Published annually every spring, The Mitre is celebrating its 116th anniversary, making it the longest running university literary magazine in Canada. Many talented writers have begun their careers with The Mitre. For instance, some of the early work of the eminent Bishop's English student Michael Ondaatje was published here. The Mitre is a tradition, a stepping stone and a much beloved voice of expression for Bishop's writers and artists.
Lara Henerson is the editor of the Mitre this year. You can send submissions to her -- anything creative, including short fiction, poetry, visual art, and photographs -- by e-mail to bu.mitre@gmail.com. The maximum size for creative writing submissions is 1500 words. The deadline this year is December 15th, 2011, and all accepted contributors will be notified sometime in January, 2012.
