W.O. Mitchell Awards

Correction Road has been shortlisted for the City of Calgary W.O. Mitchell Book Prize for the best book of 2007. I'm really honoured and delighted by this news. There will be a reading on Saturday, May 3rd, at 10:30am to noon, and the award will be presented at the Calgary Awards on June 10. The other nominees are Diane Guichon and Roberta Rees. Diane's poetry is excellent and I listened to her read at the Calgary Blow Out this past November, and while I haven't met Roberta or heard her read yet, I look forward to doing so at the May 3rd event.
