Isn't there some kind of fiction award thingy going on tonight? The. . .Galler? (Oh, it's bound to be a galler all right. Hyuk hyuk.)

Not to be a bad Torontonian, but I'm kind of rooting for Alissa York.

Shortlists announced for the GERALD LAMPERT & PAT LOWTHER AWARDS

from our friends at the League of Canadian Poets:

The League of Canadian Poets is pleased to announce the shortlist for its 2011 Gerald Lampert and Pat Lowther Memorial Awards.

The Gerald Lampert Memorial Award is given in the memory of Gerald Lampert, an arts administrator who organized authors' tours and took a particular interest in the work of new writers. The award recognizes the best first book of poetry published by a Canadian in the preceding year and carries a $1,000 prize. The Pat Lowther Memorial Award is given for a book of poetry by a Canadian woman published in the preceding year, and is in memory of the late Pat Lowther, whose career was cut short by her untimely death in 1975. This award also carries a $1,000 prize.

Congratulations to all the shortlisted authors, including Jeff Latosik, recent Open Book: Toronto Writer in Residence! Winners will be announced during a special ceremony at the annual LCP Poetry Fest and Conference to be held at The Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto (475 Yonge Street) on June 11, 2011.
