filling Station (magazine)

Many emerging writers from Calgary have at one time volunteered on filling Station's board or editorial collective.

filling Station is one of the few literary magazines in Canada that publishes literature from other languages in translation.

[2] Created in Calgary in 1993[3] 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.

[4] filling Station has published not only emerging writers, but also those well-established, such as George Bowering, Anita Rau Badami, Hiromi Goto, Robert Kroetsch, Christian Bök, bill bissett, Suzette Mayr, and Marilyn Dumont.

In November 2003, filling Station began the flywheel reading series held monthly at Pages Books on Kensington.
