Another good read to check out: www.spacing.ca
A chance to explore Toronto's urban landscape and the amazing culture it facilitates in this city. Spacing magazine also runs blogs for many major cities in the country, look up your hometown if you're not a Torontonian at heart.
It's a great way to keep up with what's going on in the city, and provides an interesting perspective on everything from politics to sidewalk cracks.

Updates...
It's March!
This means the March issue is coming out ASAP. It's currently at the printers, and I'll be trucking it across campus first thing next week. Check it out!
And if you have any suggestions on where you would like the paper distributed, drop us a comment, and we'll deliver it!
Is that service or what?
March also means that we only have one issue left, the April one. It will mark the end of a great year for the WFP and my last edition as editor. It's going to be epic! Want to participate?
Of course you do! Come to our meeting next Thursday (March 11) at 7pm. It's in the WFP Office, 004 Winters College (Right across from the Absinthe Pub and Coffee Shop). Our meetings are open to everyone, there is always food and friendly faces to be found. What are you waiting for?

metal fruit and other good reads
Being a college paper we never get around to really exploring the literary and 'zine realm outside of our own college... which is a damn shame because York associates are doing some awesome stuff! So this is my first of many posts inviting you to explore what Yorkies have to offer online.
Today's good read:
Check out Steel Bananas (http://www.steelbananas.com/). It's a not-for-profit art collective and cultural 'zine focused primarily on exploring contempory urban culture in Toronto. Every month they put out an online issue chock-full of intelligent and playful content, running the gamut on everything from literary theory to video game culture. The Steel Bananas gang also runs events in Toronto, like the Monthly Eggplant Reading Series at Zoot's Cafe (the third Tuesday of every month) and the Art-i-choke Revue. In 2009 they also published GULCH: an assemblage of poetry and prose in tandem with Tightrope Books. The book contains work by 52 Canadian authors, including some York students and professors. The book inspired an art exhibit hosted in our very own EWAG, featuring a collaboration of up-an-coming artists from across the city.

Steel Bananas was started by York affiliates, though now it houses writers from all walks of life.
Steel Bananas pushes the envelope, breaks boundaries, and draws on your walls!

WFP gets connected
As much as we love being a print publication, there's no denying we're living in an web-based world so the Winters Free Press is going live!
On this blog you'll see what our writers and contributors are doing in between each issue as they publish their thoughts, stories, and artwork in a more immediate form.
