We blogged about this book last year, and if you were lucky enough to attend the launch in Halifax, you would have heard a chorus of people reciting these mythical poems. Sue is a teacher in many forms, and a spirited maker of poetry and community. We are grateful for her work.
Also on the Canadian shortlist:
Anne Michaels for Correspondences (M), an elegy for her father (with portraits by Bernice Eisenstein).
Anne Carson for Red Doc> (M), a follow-up to Autobiography of Red.
None of these female authors limit themselves to poetry, but all consistently bring attentive
curiosity to their writing. The winner will be announced on June 5th.
Nominees for the 2014 Griffin Prize International shortlist are:
Pilgrim’s Flower (M) by Rachael Boast
Seasonal Work with Letters on Fire by Brenda Hillman
Silverchest (M) by Carl Phillips
Colonies by Tomasz Rózycki and translated by Mira Rosenthal
