Susan Musgrave, poet
This year I have included the Governor General's short list for poetry (which includes the great Susan Musgrave), children's books, drama, non-fiction as well as fiction (including the superb Marina Endicott.) Congratulations to all the finalists.
The winners of the Governor General Awards will be announced Tuesday, November 15 at 10 am at the Enwave Theatre at Harbourfront Centre, 231 Queens Quay West, in Toronto. Probably also on CBC.
