The ReLit committees have made their final decisions for this year's awards.
And the winners are....
Short Fiction: Long After Fathers by Roberta Rees (Coteau Books)
"Roberta Rees masterfully pulls the reader in from the opening page of Long After Fathers, her first collection of short fiction."
-Lynda Grace Philippsen, The Globe & Mail
Poetry: Soft Geography by Gillian Wigmore (Harbour Publishing)
"What a wonderful, fresh voice Gillian Wigmore brings to the page. These wise poems know the push and pull within family. They reveal the tender truths behind the rough edges of small-town life. Her voice resonates with authenticity, and whether she is writing about a near drowning or ice fishing, she is ultimately writing about the complications of love. These are poems you will not soon forget."
—Robert Hilles, Governor General’s Award-winner for Poetry
Novel: The Outlander by Gil Adamson (Anansi)
"The Outlander deserves to be read twice, first for the plot and the complex characters which make this a page turner of the highest order, and then a second time, slowly, to savor the marvel of Gil Adamson's writing. This novel is a true wonder."
-Ann Patchett
