The E.J Pratt Poetry Award for a Newfoundland Poet – The Shortlist.
George Murray’s Glimpse: Selected Aphorism
“A book of 409 aphorisms. Snappy one- or two-liners of wisdom and wit, and a poetry-philosophy fusion., but something more accessible than either.”
Patrick Warner’s Mole
“A collection of poems that is levity-laden in places and poignant in others, and reveals surprising meaning in the moments and objects of daily life.”
Tom Dawe’s Where Genesis Begins
“A collaboration of two of Newfoundland’s foremost artists: Tom Dawe, a profoundly visual poet, and Gerald Squires, a profoundly poetic painter.”
Winner announced This Week. Readings tomorrow night.
