Administrative history
The Porcupine's Quill, situated in Erin, Ontario, Canada, is an independent publishing company dedicated to promoting contemporary Canadian poetry, fiction, art, and literary criticism. Originally founded in 1974 by Tim and Elke Inkster, The Porcupine’s Quill first emerged as the production arm of Press Porcépic in Toronto, Ontario. The press gained recognition for publishing works by new Canadian writers, many of whom have become well-established in the Canadian literary community, and for doing much of its printing in-house. The Porcupine's Quill prints the bi-annual magazine, The Devil's Artisan, dedicated to printing and book arts in Canada.
