The Fiddlehead: Atlantic Canada's International Literary Journal Campus House, 11 Garland Court PO Box 4400, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, E3B 5A3 The Fiddlehead was first established in 1945.

What began as a mimeographed 8-page journal stapled together by Alfred Bailey is now a veritable institution of literary culture in Canada. For the last 65 years, The Fiddlehead has continually upheld its mandate to publish accomplished poetry, short fiction, and Canadian literature reviews; to discover and promote new writing talent; to represent the Atlantic region's lively cultural and literary

diversity; and to place the best of new and established Canadian writing in an international context. To quote John Metcalf, “The Fiddlehead was, and is, an essential part of Canada’s literary life. Its editors have always taken seriously their responsibility to seek out and encourage new young writers and give them a hearing in the company of their elders.”
