Bonnie Dunlop (FW ‟98) Won the Brenda Macdonald Riches Award for First Book in the 2004 Saskatchewan Book Awards for Her Short Collection the Beauty Box (Thistledown) Experientially Speaking Sage Hill Alumni Newsletter (Vol. 9, March 2005) Announcements There are now two keynote addresses posted on the Sage Hill website: Writing as delight, the pleasure, presented by Gerry Shikatani on November 28, 2004 at Sage Hill‟s Fall Poetry Colloquium; and Hearing Anne Szumigalski, George Elliott Clarke‟s keynote lecture presented on July 28, 2004 at the most recent Summer Experience.

Go To Our Alumni Page to see our new “Featured Alumni”: Oana Avasilichioaei, Al Pope, Mansel Robinson, and Brenda Schmidt. UPDATE: BROCHURE 2005 Program Brochures are now available.

Sadly, Sage Hill and the poets of the Fall Poetry Colloquium 2004 wish to express their deep sorrow at the passing of Sharon Drummond, a participant at that program. Sharon was radiant and worked hard, completing a manuscript during her two weeks there (now under consideration by a publisher). It was a privilege to have Sharon as a participant at Sage Hill. A Scholarship is being planned in memory of Sharon; contact Sage Hill for more information. A wake was held for Sharon on January 31, 2005 at the home of her friend Betty Jane Hegerat. The funeral service took place in Calgary at 2:00, Tuesday February 1. Please see the tribute to Sharon on the Sage Hill website.

Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

  • Reception D Study
    Reception d Study Harry Loewen University of Winnipeg For all the skills they have shown for centuries in the practical arts, Mennonites have failed to develop among themselves an appreciation for the literary arts and even less for literary artists.' This is not to say that Mennonites did not read books. As Jacob H. Janzen wrote with affection- ate irony some forty years ago: "They [Mennonites] liked to have good books. They bought Menno Simons' writings and laid them away to become dust covered on the corner ~helf."~Not only did Mennonites in Russia know the writings of Menno Simons; they also read other works written by non-Mennonites, even works of fiction, especially those which appealed to their sense of religious piety and practical concerns. Works like Jung-Stilling's Das Heimweh were not only appreciated by nineteenth-century Russian Mennonites, but were occasionally taken in a literal sense which could result in strange historical consequence^.^ During the nineteenth century Russian Mennonites did produce a few poets who achieved respect and popularity among the practically- minded Mennonites. The most outstanding among these was Bernhard Harder (1832-84) of the Molotschnaya who as preacher, teacher and poet spoke and sang his evangelical concerns into the hearts and minds of his people. Harder deserves his rightful place among the emerging Men- nonite writers, but as a poet he saw himself more in a didactic and moralizing role than as an artist. The Mennonite literary artist was unknown among the nineteenth-century Russian Mennonites.* It has been suggested that Mennonite literature not only grew out of the Russian-Mennonite tradition, but that in its appeal to Mennonite readers it was in part successful because there was a community which accepted this literature, however rel~ctantly.~This is no doubt true with regard to the kind of literature which was largely didactic and pietistic in Journal of Mennonite Studies Vol.

I open with a history of the trope of deformity and a theory on its applicability to questions of the nation in Canadian fiction.

  • The Dominance of White Authors in Canadian Literary Awards
    White Voices: The Dominance of White Authors in Canadian Literary Awards Kara Locke Abstract An analysis of the past winners of Canada's three largest English-language fiction awards, as well as the non-fiction award with the largest monetary prize. This article examines the ratio of white authors to those of visible racial minority, and considers the cultural and economic impacts of awarding primarily white authors in a racially diverse country. Keywords: Literary Awards Literary awards have long been a way to shine a spotlight on exceptional authors and stories. A combination of attributed prestige, exposure and monetary reward, winning one of these awards can drastically alter the career of a writer. By effectively amplifying the voices of the authors who are awarded, these prizes select what and who Canadians will be reading, and contribute to the shaping of what we recognize as Canadian culture. Canada is known for being multicultural, a diverse mix of the different peoples who have come to inhabit the land, so it stands to reason that our list of award winning authors would reflect that. It does not. The archive of past winners is overwhelmingly white. The oldest award in Canada is the Governor General’s Award for English- language fiction, created in 1936 by the Canadian Author’s Association, and taken over by the Canada Council for the Arts in 1959 (ggbooks.ca/about) . The winner receives a $25,000 prize. The deliberation process is carried out through peer evaluation, with other authors, often past winners themselves, choosing a winner of the finalists.

  • Manitoba and Beyond
    292 Journal of Mennonite Studies Mennonite/s Writing: Manitoba and Beyond University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA Thursday to Sunday October 1-4, 2009 The fifth international conference on Mennonite/s Writing since 1990, features scholarly papers on the work of individual “Mennonite” writers, on Mennonite writers’ inscription of Winnipeg or Manitoba landscapes, and on other subjects related to Mennonite/s writing across North America. Writers who have grown up within the Mennonite communities of Manitoba have made a huge contribution to Canadian literature over the course of the last half century. Among those recently nominated for national literary awards are novelists David Bergen, Sandra Birdsell, Miriam Toews, Rudy Wiebe and poets Di Brandt and Patrick Friesen. These and other Mennonite writers well known in the worlds of Canadian literature and beyond (among them Sarah Klassen, David Waltner-Toews, Armin Wiebe, David Elias) have roots in various parts of Manitoba. Most of these writers were first published by Manitoba’s premier literary publisher, Turnstone Press. Several were founding members of the still thriving Manitoba Writers Guild. Many first received attention in Winnipeg’s stellar literary magazine, Prairie Fire. Their work is read around the world.
