History
Created in Calgary in 1993 by a group of University of Calgary students who wanted a magazine independent from the university and separate from "Dandelion", and with more freedom about what, and whom, they could publish, filling Station has been pushing the boundaries ever since.
filling Station has published not only emerging writers, but also those well-established, such as George Bowering, Christian Bök, bill bissett, Suzette Mayr, and Marilyn Dumont.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
