Reviews

"a testament to a literary culture in full bloom.. Alberta writing is in the midst of a high season, and Threshold captures many good reasons why." Lachlan Mackintosh, FastForward Magazine

"a grab-bag garden of literary delights.. Threshold provides a long-needed taste of Alberta literature, as the landscape evolves and mutates." Gordon Morash, Edmonton Journal

"...what we are seeing is a newcomer's perspective, one unencumbered by parochial notions of canonicity and trendiness.... The overall effect of Pavlovic's anthology is impressive..." Nicholas Birns, Department of Humanities, New School University (New York), Canadian Ethnic Studies, XXXIII, No. 1, 2001
