Nominated for the bpNichol Award

A new first has been unlocked! Pinhole Poetry included my debut chapbook ‘Shiftings & Other Coordinates of Disorder’ in their submission packet for the bpNichol Award!

What is the bpNichol Award? To quote the Meet the Presses website:

The bpNichol Chapbook Award recognizes excellence in Canadian poetry in English published in chapbook form within Canada. The prize is awarded to a poetry chapbook judged to be the best submitted.

One of the best things from this news is that any chapbooks submitted for consideration will be archived at McMaster University Library under the Gary Barwin Chapbook Collection which means…my book is going to be in a real library!!!
