From the Editor<\/span><\/p>\nFirst published in 1945, The Fiddlehead is Atlanta Canada\u2019s international literary journal and Canada\u2019s longest living literary journal. Many \u2013 now well-known \u2013 writers have found their first home in our pages, and they, as well as some of our editors and assistants, have gone on to win Canadian and international awards and prizes. We publish short stories, poems, book reviews, and the occasional personal essay. Our full-colour covers feature the work of New Brunswick artists. Do not look at this journal as old! It is experienced; wise enough to recognize excellence; always looking for freshness and surprise.<\/p>\n
