Brick
Russell Banks calls this beautiful literary magazine "one of the best, if not the best, journals of ideas in the world." Full of essays, poetry, reviews, even the odd obituary, it's published twice a year and co-edited by The English Patient author Michael Ondaatje. www.brickmag.com

Kiss Machine
This quarterly zine, lovingly crafted by editor Emily Pohl Weary, is a playful romp through the surrealism inherent in daily life. Each issue combines art, essays, and fiction exploring seemingly mismatched themes, like bugs and small business, babies and robots. www.kissmachine.org

Outpost
A bimonthly travel magazine for the Lonely Planet set, Outpost recently chronicled a trip through the Canadian Rockies by canoe and folding tandem bicycle, and a walk through the English countryside with three of the world's best crop-circle hoaxsters. www.outpostmagazine.com

C Magazine
A quarterly journal exploring the intersection of contemporary art and international politics, C strives to be "proudly Canadian without being provincial." The Spring 2005 "Pro/Anti-Americanism" issue features a look at artistic exchanges as an alternative model of diplomacy and reports on cutting-edge artists from Iran, Germany, and the UK. www.cmagazine.com

Mix
"A declaration of creative independence," this 30-year-old quarterly is dedicated to uncovering independent and noncommercial artists and creative trends across North America. www.mixmagazine.com

This Magazine
Founded in 1966 by a group of radical teachers under the title This Magazine Is About Schools, the publication shortened its name and expanded its editorial focus in 1979. The tiny staff and an army of volunteers do an impressive, professional job of putting together hard-hitting reporting and cultural commentary. Before writing No Logo, author Naomi Klein served as editor. www.thismagazine.ca
