Commissioned especially for this tribute, remarkable writing from a who's who of Canadian literature.
Always a powerful voice for our most talented new and established writers, critics and visual artists, Descant magazine has become a "record of thinking" for the literary community, acclaimed at home and around the world.
Now, in this remarkable anniversary anthology of new work, Descant writers celebrate a quarter century of artistic exploration and expression.
Margaret Atwood, Rosemary Sullivan, Timothy Findley, Alberto Manguel, Katherine Govier, Leon Rooke, Evelyn Lau, W.P. Kinsella and 20 others play their own paper guitars, creating a collection that touches on the passage of time, the exposure of truth, the origins of creativity, the discovery of the self and the bounds of love. Paper Guitar is a book for all those who revel in the results of superb writing fueled by brilliant imagination.
