Publisher’s description: Called “one of the best, if not the best, journals of ideas published in the English-speaking world” by Russell Banks, Brick is one of Canada’s oldest and most respected literary journals, edited by Michael Ondaatje, Michael Redhill, Linda Spalding, Esta Spalding, Michael Helm and Rebecca Silver Slayter. Since its inception in 1977, Brick has played a unique role, both in Canada and beyond, gathering a cross-section of national and international, known and new literary voices in a wide-ranging discussion of arts, culture, and literature. Publisher Michael Redhill describes the magazine as “a dream dinner party where writers and readers share a sumptuous feast of ideas.”

As the late poet Robert Creeley said, “Brick is a reader’s and writer’s magazine, that rare ground of a common interest and exchange. It's a remarkable bastion against the blurs and distractions of the all-too-familiar alternatives. Here reading always wins.”
