Brick Books was founded in 1975 in London, Ontario by Stan Dragland and Don McKay, both then professors at the University of Western Ontario. It is the only press in Canada that specialises exclusively in publishing poetry. Brick's mandate is to foster interesting, ambitious, and compelling work by Canadian poets and translators of poetry, both new and established, while maintaining the editorial standard for which it has gained a national reputation. The press publishes seven new titles and an average of nine reprints each year. Source: Ontario Creates / Brick Books success story. source
