Publisher’s description: An award-winning journal with a sense of fun, The New Quarterly opens a window into the world of writing through down-to-earth articles, profiles, and talk with writers. Our project is to celebrate Canadian writers and writing by publishing the best in new fiction and poetry: writing that reminds people why they love to read and write. Writing that’s worth it.
