The Wascana Review is a bi-annual peer-reviewed journal[1] publishing new and established contemporary literary fiction, non-fiction interviews and poetry from Canada and around the world. It was established in 1966 at the University of Saskatchewan[2], Regina Campus, [3] (whose Regina campus later became established as University of Regina), by Warren Bennett,[4], among others.
Wascana Review has evolved into an internationally recognized literary journal that publishes new, emerging, and established writers. Occasionally, themed issues are created. Recent themes [5] have been Outlaws (vol. 33 No. 2), Landscape and Literature (34.1), Sources, Inspirations, Intertexts (36.1), and The Twentieth Century (37.1) and The Contemporary Short Story (38.1).
Stories chosen by Wascana Review have appeared in anthologies.[6]
