John Metcalf quotes
" I wanted the press to become something of a movement. Not a movement committed to a particular "ism," but a gathering together of writers with an aesthetic approach to literature and with a lust for excellence. "

John Metcalf
" I wanted to counter apathy and blandness. I wanted to shock homogenized minds with the experience of writing at high voltage. I wanted the press to assert relentlessly literature's importance. I wanted the press to be a national press and of national importance. "

John Metcalf
" I wanted to draw together into one place so many talented writers that we would achieve critical mass and explode upon Canadian society in a dazzling coruscation showering it with unquenchable brilliance. "

John Metcalf
" Taken up with Hugh and Clark swapping baseball trivia. Clark often detailed yet another financial reversal. On the day he told us his house had burned down, we all, I think, accepted the news as somehow unexciting and inevitable. "

John Metcalf
" Writers don't have to keep themselves honest. They have to keep themselves accurate. "
