It was a profound honour to be one of the judges for this year’s Manitoba Book Awards. The awards were announced last Saturday, April 30th, and the list of the winners can be found here. Having the opportunity to judge provided a very welcome window into many of the books published over the past year in Manitoba; it was great to have the chance to become acquainted with many books that I otherwise might have missed. Congratulations to all of the nominees, to the winning books, to the writers and artists, to the publishers, to the arts organizations, and to the communities that allow for such deserving acts of recognition to take place!
