Every year, we ask our audience and our authors how they liked the Festival, and what W we can do to make it even better. Here’s what some of last year’s authors had to say: It’s my FAVOURITE festival in this country, no question – Frances Itani It was the highlight of my tour and really just about the most fun I have had at a literary event! – Amanda Jernigan This Festival is a writer’s dream – Molly Peacock We have another stellar lineup of 60 writers mounting our stages, from Michael Ondaatje, Teju Cole, and Dionne Brand on opening night, through Naomi Wolf, Kelley Armstrong, John Vaillant, Will Ferguson, and Steven Heighton, to our Sunday closing with Ami McKay and Linden MacIntyre. 46 events in all – plus some you won’t see. This year, we’re taking children’s writers into Kingston elementary schools. And on the day before we open, we’re helping produce an event for 4,000 frosh, part of our collaboration 3 with Queen’s to inaugurate a Common Reader program, which sent every first-year student a copy of Charlotte Gill’s Eating Dirt. The volunteers and staff that put this Festival together for you are nothing short of amazing. You’ll see them in the halls, wearing their orange scarves and T-shirts. If you like the Festival, tell them! Here’s what some of last year’s patrons said: Amazing atmosphere of friendship throughout – authors, interviewers, audience. The sessions had such warmth I wound up buying 10 books! I left every session with a smile on my face and heartfelt awe for the talent that is ‘an author.’ Enjoy the Festival. And if you read a book today, thank a writer!

The 150 Books of Influence Project Committee recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians. Final publication date November 2017. Books are our finest calling card to the world. The stories they share travel far and wide, and contribute greatly to our global presence. Books have the power to profoundly express the complex and rich cultural life that makes Nova Scotia a place people want to visit, live, work and play. This year, the 150th Anniversary of Confederation provided Public Libraries across the province with a unique opportunity to involve Nova Scotians in a celebration of our literary heritage. The value of public engagement in the 150 Books of Influence project is demonstrated by the astonishing breadth and quality of titles listed within. The booklist showcases the diversity and creativity of authors, both past and present, who have called Nova Scotia home.

Eat at home and buy the books. 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.

  • The Masks of D. G. Jones
    THE MASKS OF D. G. JONES E.D.Blodgdt "Pour se reconnaître, il faut se traduire" LUBLIC SILENCE surrounding the work of D. G. Jones in Canada is inexorable but not inexplicable. His three books of poetry have emerged and disappeared apparently without complaint against the more stri- dent and ephemeral appeals of the poetry of the past decade in this country. Beside the meteoric flash of such writers as Leonard Cohen and, now, Margaret Atwood, Jones's subtle brilliance seems a pale fire indeed. This is because Jones is a poet who is penetrating with care and delicate concern many of Canada's more troubling aesthetic preoccupations. He is a poet of courage whose surfacing is always deceptive and often misleading in a country where the search for self and heritage can be so exhausting that most poets would prefer to settle for any mode of irony that would both expose the mysterious folly of self-discovery and, also, prevent whatever fulfillment of exploration might be possible. This is the poetry of an imagination that was early formed, and such changes as occur are those of a style deepened only by tragic events.1 It should be remarked, nevertheless, how the centre of Jones's circles of radiation is placed in his first book. As a poet who seems only minimally ready for statement, he enunciated an almost consuming passion in his first poem in Frost On The Sun2 entitled "John Marin". Jones's passion is for art, form and the artist's ambiguous relation to the world present to the eye.
