What they are saying about us …

Brick is a reader’s and writer’s magazine, that rare ground of common interest and exchange. It’s a remarkable bastion against the blurs and distractions of the all-too-familiar alternatives. Here reading always wins.

— Robert Creeley

Brick is the literary journal that makes me simply giddy when it comes—like I’m Krazy Kat, and the magazine is a konk on the head by a beloved mouse.

— Jonathan Lethem

I read Brick cover to cover. I save each Brick. Where else might one read fine writing that is not about television or film? Brick takes books seriously. Brick publishes the best writers it can find whether they are famous or not. Brick represents integrity in publishing. It is also one of two North American magazines that keeps the flame of literature alive. It’s hilarious, too. Pretend it is a MAD Magazine and read the tiniest type.

— Annie Dillard

Brick is intelligent and richly figured, a literary magazine for people who think and relish words and the ways they are joined. It sails the sea of letters like a well-built dory.

— Annie Proulx

Brick is a continual source of delight. For its clarity, intelligence, flair. For its breadth of vision, international scope, quirky angles. Brick is Canada’s finest literary magazine.

— Di Brandt

Brick is on its own, a constantly surprising and exciting gathering of literary and visual talents from every direction. I know of no more vital and original literary journal anywhere.
