Goose Lane Editions

Goose Lane Editions is a Canadian book publishing company founded in 1954 in Fredericton, New Brunswick as Fiddlehead Poetry Books by Fred Cogswell, Warren Kinthompson and a group of students and faculty from the University of New Brunswick. After Cogswell retired in 1981, his successor, Peter Thomas, changed the name to Goose Lane Editions. From 1989 to 1997 Douglas Lochhead was president of Goose Lane. It is now headed by publisher and co-owner Susanne Alexander. The Canada Council for the Arts says the publishing company "has evolved to become one of Canada's most exciting showcases of home-grown literary talent."

Publications from Goose Lane Editions include literary fiction, poetry, cookbooks, and guide books, as well as fine art volumes for museums and galleries. Authors published by Goose Lane include Alden Nowlan, Nancy Bauer, Herb Curtis, Reg Balch, Lynn Coady, Alan Cumyn, Sheree Fitch, Douglas Glover whose novel Elle won the 2003 Governor General's Award for English-language fiction, and Riel Nason whose novel The Town That Drowned won the 2012 Commonwealth Book Prize (Canada and Europe).

The company's imprint, BTC Audiobooks, is Canada's leading provider of Canadian literary fiction in audio book format.

Famous quotes containing the words goose, lane and/or editions:

    My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The question is whether personal freedom is worth the terrible effort, the never-lifted burden and risks of self-reliance.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
