About Frontenac House

Located in downtown Calgary, Frontenac House is a small literary press on the lookout for bold new work. Frontenac’s mandate is to publish as wide a range of poetic expression, from as varied and diverse a group of poets, as we can find. Primarily a poetry press, Frontenac intends before long to include other literary forms in its repertoire.

Calgary’s Frontenac House has made an impressive impact as one of Canada’s publishers to watch. They’ve done it with a smart selection of good writing and energetic promotion. Their increasingly effective book design hasn’t hurt either.
