rushes from the river disappointment by stephanie roberts is a finalist for The A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry.
In poems that affirm love and desire as treasures fought for more than just felt, rushes from the river disappointment turns an unblinking gaze on the failures of courage that distance us from love.
The Danger Model by Madelaine Caritas Longman is a finalist for The Concordia University First Book Prize.
Provocatively realistic but also hopeful, The Danger Model is an investigation of how we come to recognize – or not recognize – ourselves and each other.
