"We received the new issue of Vancouver's subTerrain just a few days ago, and boy does it look good. Thanks to a special Vancouver 125 Grant—offered by the City to honour Vancouver's 125th birthday—subTerrain has put together an especially beautiful and deluxe issue number 59. Within, you'll find dozens of full colour illustrations, nice paper and 125 poems about Vancouver. Lovely."
