People, places and things to love about Hamilton.
-- a Canadian online poetry magazine celebrating the non-conforming, the radical, the alternative, the surreal, the avant-garde, the non-linear, the abstract, the experimental.
H Magazine is devoted to the details of life in our city. The cultural, historical, visual and architectural elements of Hamilton are what makes this place so unique. H Mag provides a local perspective to the wider community. Listings, reviews, and poetry.

BPJ Once in a while, I'll pick up a lit mag and read a great poem by someone I've never heard of. A poem that knocks me down and steals my shoes and makes me walk back to my own poor town over rocks and thorns. A poem that knocks the oomph out of my status quo. A poem I want to read to everybody. One that works and risks while it works. The Beloit Poetry Journal offers such poems. [The Literary Magazine Review]
