the cléo reader

the cléo reader: 2013-2019 is a print celebration of some of the best writing that was published in the journal over the course of its six years and features new introductions by Kiva Reardon, Anne T. Donahue, Fariha Róisín, Lulu Wang and artwork by Jazzmyn Coker. It was made possible by a generous donation from director Barry Jenkins.

Broken into three sections–Comedy, Tender and Genre–the cléo reader: 2013-2019 features writing by: Mallory Andrews, Angelica Jade Bastién, Julia Cooper, Kelley Dong, Sarah Hagi, Willow Maclay, So Mayer, Lydia Ogwang, Justine Smith, and more!

To read more about all that cléo journal accomplished during its six year run, please read our oral history in The Globe and Mail and our final Editor’s Note. And don’t worry–our archives will stay up as long as the internet does (donations to help keep our website running are always welcome)!
