Mnerva is a literary journal that publishes poetry, prose, and visual art. We are associated with UofT’s St. Michael’s College, but we accept work from artists across the globe, regardless of whether you attend UofT. We publish one print journal a year, each with a different theme. Mnerva also runs an online blog, where we post literary works on a rolling basis.
