About us

Wild Hyacinth is a Canadian literary magazine publishing fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Issues are published twice yearly, in spring and fall, focusing on emerging and established Canadian writers. Founded by two best friends obsessed with stories, this magazine allows them to share and honour their love of reading.

Wild Hyacinth aims to provide a literary pocket for difficult, uncomfortable emotions that are hard to talk about and support. Rather than the shame and isolation that can often accompany these feelings and seasons, we hope to create a community in celebration of these emotions.
