I am thrilled and honoured and still slightly gobsmacked to have been nominated for a Gerald Lampert Memorial Award for best first book of poetry.

And what fabulous company I’m keeping! The other nominations are:

• The Crow’s Vow by Susan Briscoe (Signal Edition of Vehicule Press)
• That Other Beauty by Karen Enns (Brick Books)
• Tiny, Frantic, Stronger by Jeff Latosik (Insomniac Press)
• [sic] by Nikki Reimer (Frontenac Press)
• Here Is Where We Disembark by Clea Roberts (Freehand Books)
