Authors & Headliners

The Polyglot is a community hub, magazine, and publisher created out of an overwhelming urge to respect, promote, and celebrate heritage and Indigenous languages that are often ignored or neglected in the literary, art, and publishing worlds.

Founded in amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton, Canada) in 2016 by poet, researcher, and educator Adriana Oniță, it was billed as the first biannual online magazine devoted to publishing multilingual poetry and art in Canada. We have since expanded to publish poetry, art, stories, essays, and translations by both Canadian and international contributors.

The Polyglot has a role to play in maintaining heritage and Indigenous languages; they provided the first platform where multilingual artists and writers could freely live, write, gather, and hold events in other languages in Edmonton.
