Events
Since our first issue, published in January 1967, The Malahat Review has had the privilege of publishing writers from all corners of the world. Now, with the publication of our fiftieth-anniversary and two-hundredth issue, the Malahat focuses its editorial eye on the rich literary community prospering around us. Join us downtown at Munro’s, for the launch of our tribute to the fine writers of Victoria—past, present, and future—and the word-obsessed city where they thrive.
Readings by: Marilyn Bowering, Shane Book, Annabel Howard, Philip Kevin Paul, Madeline Sonik, Terence Young, and Brock Zawila.
Hosted by: John Barton and Rhonda Batchelor
