One of my Shanties is on the CBC Poetry Prize Long List

Song for the Earth and the Water Makes the CBC Poetry Prize Long List!

Posted on

One of the closing poems from my manuscript “We are George Ryga,” proletarian songs about the Okanagan Valley as a land of stories and solidarity, has made the CBC Long List. It was inspired by my book the Salmon Shanties, which I am reading from on Sunday afternoon in Kelowna (Info here).

You can read the long list and the CBC’s notes here:

This photo came from the day that inspired the poem. This is the setting, lived just a little later, right at water level.

Blessed be. Thanks, CBC!
