View and Download Book Award Past Winners And 2008 Vancouver Book Award Finalists Author & Title Information The four short listed titles were chosen by an independent jury that included: • Freelance editor (and former Publisher at Raincoast Books/Polestar) Michelle Benjamin • Marc Fournier, owner of Sophia Books • Fernanda Viveiros, Executive Director of the Federation of BC Writers This jury also selected the winning entry. Note: authors listed in alphabetical order Brad Cran and Gillian Jerome Hope in Shadows Arsenal Pulp Press and Pivot Legal Society, Vancouver ; photographs taken by the residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, accompanied by the personal stories of the men and women behind these stunning images. The Book: Residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside are not bound by poverty or addiction but rather driven by a sense of community, kinship and, above all, hope. For each of the past five years, Pivot Legal Society’s annual Hope in Shadows photography contest has empowered residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside by providing them with 200 disposable cameras to document their lives—thus giving them an artistic means to enter the ongoing and often stormy dialogue over the place they call home. Since the contest’s inception, DTES residents have taken over 20,000 images of their neighbourhood. Working with this archive, Brad Cran and Gillian Jerome have collected the personal stories behind these stunning photographs. In surprising and astounding ways, Hope in Shadows will not only change the way you think about the Downtown Eastside and other impoverished neighbourhoods; it will also change your view of society as we know it. Jury Comments: Our jury found this book to be gritty, honest, and respectfully created. They were moved by the great deal of optimism present in these pages as the authors document the people of a neighbourhood that has such a grim outward reputation. Brad Cran is a poet, essayist and photographer and has been a contributing editor at Geist magazine as well as publisher of Smoking Lung Press. In 2004, Brad received a Writing and Publishing commission at the Vancouver Arts Awards from Geist Publisher Stephen Osborne. City of Vancouver Book Award Past Winners and Finalists (1989 – 2008) 2 OF 25 Gillian Jerome is a poet, editor and sessional instructor in the English Department at the University of British Columbia. She is also a contributing editor at Geist magazine. Gary Geddes Falsework Goose Lane Editions , Fredericton, New Brunswick A multi-voiced, inquisitive new kind of poetry that offers up portraits of the many lives affected by the crumbling of the Second Narrows Bridge in 1958, a seemingly indomitable structure. The Book: On June 17, 1958, Vancouver’s Second Narrows Bridge collapsed while under construction. Eighteen men plunged to their deaths, and many other were injured. Falsework provides an elegiac portrait of the many lives affected by the crumpling of that seemingly indomitable structure. In this extraordinary book, Gary Geddes takes the distant tragedy of the bridge collapse and captures the grit and spirit of the workers who died that day as much as the hollow pain of survivors and their families. The voices that speak from these pages are fictive, but by weaving his polyphonic narrative with grainy archival photos Geddes evokes the intimacy of his characters’ lives and the awful truth of experiences both raw and profane. Jury Comments: Our jury was struck by the diversity of voice and perspective in this book and its complex portrait of grief and loss in this local tragedy—all supplemented by great archival photos. The bridge itself becomes one of the characters, heightening the impact of its collapse. Gary Geddes is an acclaimed and award-winning writer, poet, editor and critic, who has travelled extensively, published over 35 books and lectured widely on Canadian literature. His honours include over a dozen national and international awards, among them the Commonwealth Poetry Regional Prize and the Gabriela Mistral Prize. Recently, he was Distinguished Professor of Canadian Culture at Western Washington University. In addition, Gary was the 2006 Writer-in-Residence at the Vancouver Public Library and is currently a writer-in- residence at the Okanagan College/Mackie Lake. His most recent book is the internationally acclaimed Kingdom of Ten Thousand Things. City of Vancouver Book Award Past Winners and Finalists (1989 – 2008) 3 OF 25 Eve Lazarus At Home With History: The Untold Secrets of Greater Vancouver’s Heritage Homes Anvil Press , Vancouver A social history and genealogy that reveals much about the history of the times and offers up a sense of place in the ongoing narrative of selected heritage homes in Greater Vancouver. The Book: At Home With History is a collection of real life stories that bring to life the glamorous and not-so-glamorous social histories of selected heritage homes in Greater Vancouver—stories of brothels and bootleggers, secret rooms and Shakespearean-style murders. An Italian family survives the depression by selling booze and sandwiches from their eastside home. A Shaughnessy mansion headquarters the Ku Klux Klan and then a children’s hospice. A prominent Vancouver real estate and timber baron, accused of subterfuge, is driven from the country. Every home has a social history and a genealogy that tells a tremendous amount about the history of the times and offers up a sense of place. Current homeowners are only temporary custodians, part of the chain in the ongoing narrative of the house. People change, styles change, colours change, cars change, but through it all, the house remains a central fixture and the structure for the stories in At Home With History. Jury Comments: Our jury was delighted by the opportunity to peek behind the closed doors of private homes. The wonderful family photos and the personal quotes add to the textural richness of the book. Eve Lazarus has worked as a freelance journalist and writer for more than 15 years. Originally from Australia, she is a former newspaper reporter and has written for a variety of periodicals in Canada and the United States, including the Globe & Mail, Style at Home, B.C. Business and Canadian Family magazines. She became obsessed with home histories about four years ago. Articles she has written on the subject have appeared in Style at Home, REM, the Globe & Mail and Nuvo magazine. City of Vancouver Book Award Past Winners and Finalists (1989 – 2008) 4 OF 25 Kaija Pepper The Man Next Door Dances: The Art of Peter Bingham Dance Collection Press , Toronto A meticulously researched insight into Peter Bingham’s contact improvisation and choreography with photographs, taking the reader inside the mind of a quiet, respectful but determined artist who has kept dancing through three turbulent decades of challenge and change. The Book: Vancouver-based Artistic Director Peter Bingham has been a driving force in Canada’s contact improvisation scene for 30 years. Influenced by his early training with dancer/choreographer Linda Rubin, he later studied with American proponents of contact, Steve Paxton and Nancy Stark Smith. In 1977, he co-founded Fulcrum with Andrew Harwood and Helen Clarke and the group presented contact-based dance performances and workshops in Vancouver and across Canada to enthusiastic response. In 1982, Bingham joined six other independent artists to create the collective EDAM, and has been its sole Artistic Director since 1989. Jury Comments: Our jury found this book to be meticulously researched and written with detailed and thoughtful representation of the blossoming of the arts community in Vancouver over time. They found it to be a very readable and highly entertaining book about Vancouver’s contribution to the dance scene as well as the wider arts and cultural milieu in the city. Kaija Pepper is an internationally-known Canadian dance writer, editor and lecturer and has authored The Dance Teacher: A Biography of Kay Armstrong and Theatrical Dance in Vancouver: 1890s-1920s. Pepper is a dance critic for The Globe & Mail and her quarterly “View from Vancouver” has run in Dance International for over a decade. Kaija has played a prominent role in establishing a literary community in the field of dance. City of Vancouver Book Award Past Winners and Finalists (1989 – 2008) 5 OF 25 2007 Vancouver Book Award Finalists Author & Title Information Judges: University of B.C. English professor Glenn Deer; bookseller Marc Fournier; and novelist and screenwriter Karen X. Tulchinsky. Note: authors listed in alphabetical order Grant Arnold and Michael Turner Fred Herzog: Vancouver Photographs Douglas & McIntyre and the Vancouver Art Gallery: Jury Comments: an invaluable record of the intersection of people and place in Vancouver’s 1950s urban landscape. The book is based on the exhibition of Herzog’s body of work mounted at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2007. The Book: For half a century, his camera’s lens settled on the raw urban landscape of Vancouver, but it was not until recently that many eyes had the opportunity to rest on the photography of Fred Herzog. That changes with his first-ever solo exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the new book from Douglas & McIntyre. Originally from Stuttgart, Fred Herzog came to Vancouver in 1953. His work is outstanding due in part to the outsider’s view that allowed him to find beauty in the quotidian Vancouver of 1950s and ‘60s. In a time when “art” photography was shot almost exclusively in black and white, Herzog bucked the norm, shooting vibrant, spontaneous, documentary-style color images that evoked the energy and excitement of what was at the time still a relatively young city. Fred Herzog’s Vancouver is cosmopolitan and erupting with life. The upcoming book features over 100 evocative images from Herzog’s body of work, along with an informative interview with the author.

  • Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature
    PAYING ATTENTION TO PUBLIC READERS OF CANADIAN LITERATURE: POPULAR GENRE SYSTEMS, PUBLICS, AND CANONS by KATHRYN GRAFTON BA, The University of British Columbia, 1992 MPhil, University of Stirling, 1994 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Kathryn Grafton, 2010 ABSTRACT Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature examines contemporary moments when Canadian literature has been canonized in the context of popular reading programs. I investigate the canonical agency of public readers who participate in these programs: readers acting in a non-professional capacity who speak and write publicly about their reading experiences. I argue that contemporary popular canons are discursive spaces whose constitution depends upon public readers. My work resists the common critique that these reading programs and their canons produce a mass of readers who read the same work at the same time in the same way. To demonstrate that public readers are canon-makers, I offer a genre approach to contemporary canons that draws upon literary and new rhetorical genre theory. I contend in Chapter One that canons are discursive spaces comprised of public literary texts and public texts about literature, including those produced by readers. I study the intertextual dynamics of canons through Michael Warner’s theory of publics and Anne Freadman’s concept of “uptake.” Canons arise from genre systems that are constituted to respond to exigencies readily recognized by many readers, motivating some to participate. I argue that public readers’ agency lies in the contingent ways they select and interpret a literary work while taking up and instantiating a canonizing genre.

  • Writing Here1
    WRITING HERE1 W.H. NEW n 2003, for the BC Federation of Writers, Susan Musgrave assembled a collection of new fiction and poetry from some fifty-two IBC writers, called The FED Anthology.2 Included in this anthology is a story by Carol Matthews called “Living in ascii,” which begins with a woman recording her husband’s annoyance at whatever he sees as stupidity (noisy traffic and inaccurate grammar, for instance, and the loss of his own words when his computer apparently swallows them). This woman then tells of going to a party, of the shifting (and sometimes divisive) relationships among all the women who were attending, and of the subjects they discussed. These included a rape trial, national survival, men, cliffs, courage, cormorant nests, and endangered species. After reflecting on the etymology of the word “egg” (and its connection with the word “edge”), she then declares her impatience with schisms and losses, and her wish to recover something whole. The story closes this way: “If I were to tell the true story, I would write it not in words but in symbols, [like an] ... ascii printout. It would be very short and very true. It would go like this: moon, woman, woman; man, bird, sun; heart, heart, heart, heart, heart; rock, scissors, paper. The title would be egg. That would be the whole story.”3 This egg is the prologue to my comments here. So is the list of disparate nouns – or only seemingly disparate, in that (by collecting them as she does) the narrator connects them into story.

February 15 – March 1, 2018 About the author Author Biography About the book An Interview with Dennis Bock Read on An Excerpt from Olympia The Communist’s Daughter by Dennis Bock An Excerpt from The Ash Garden Recommended Reading Web Detective Join the discussion at togetherweread.com The Communist’s Daughter by Dennis Bock February 15 – March 1, 2018 Author Biography Raised in Oakville, Ontario, Dennis Bock is one of five children born to German parents. His mother and father are both craftspeople: she, a weaver; he, a carpenter. The family lived near Lake Ontario, and Bock remembers his father building a sailboat in their basement, an experience that later influenced his short story collection,Olympia . There were few English-language books in his childhood home, so becoming a writer wasn’t Bock’s original career choice. As a boy, he dreamed of being a marine biologist. During high school, however, he got caught up in the magic of Gulliver’s Travels. “It was the first book I read with the understanding that someone’s mind had put all those words together— that someone’s imagination had constructed something that didn’t exist before.” After studying English and philosophy for three years at the University of Western Ontario, Bock set off for Spain. Wanderlust, he says, took him there. “Spain was the setting of some of my favourite stories and novels. I had a preconceived, literary notion of what it would look like. Of course, it was totally different.” He also wanted to experience dislocation and immigration, “to break down my elements.” While living in Madrid, Bock taught English as a foreign language and wrote short fiction.

    Theorising the Chinese Diaspora: Chinese Canadian and Chinese Australian Narratives Regina W. Lee BA (Hons) (Murdoch University) Dissertation submitted for examination for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in English April 2005 DECLARATION The work in this dissertation is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. ........................................ Regina W. Lee ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For seeing me through to the end I owe heartfelt thanks to: My supervisor Professor Vijay C. Mishra for his encouragement, direction and support, persistence, patience and optimism throughout. Colleagues, friends and family for all their compassion and well wishes. ABSTRACT This dissertation presents a study of Chinese diasporic narratives from Canada and Australia and examines the formation and negotiation of diasporic cultural identity and consciousness. Drawing upon theoretical discussions on diasporas in general, it investigates how the Chinese diaspora is imagined and represented, as a visible minority group, within the context of the multicultural nation state. This dissertation begins with a taxonomy of the modes of explaining diaspora and offers three ways of theorising diasporic consciousness. In analysing the filmic and fictional narrative forms of the Chinese in Canada and Australia, the practices of cultural self- representation and of minority group participation and enjoyment of the nation are foregrounded in order to advance critical analysis of the Chinese diaspora. While taking into account the heterogeneity of the imagined diasporic Chinese community, this study also contends that the formation and negotiation of diasporic consciousness and diasporic cultural identity politics is strongly and invariably affected by the multicultural conditions and policies of their host countries.
