Canteen redefines the literary magazine. We ask accomplished writers, artists, chefs, and even a glass-walker and a CIA agent, to reveal their creative process. And we pair that insight with the best new work in fiction, poetry, art, and photography—all designed to look more like a fine art book than a dusty journal.
