We want to extend a huge congratulations to Linzey Corridon for his poetry collection, West of West Indian, for winning the Hamilton Literary Award in the Poetry category.

You can pick up this award-winning book wherever books are sold, or on our website: https://bit.ly/42ydurQ

(This book is currently on sale on our website until the end of December!)

Tonight is the Hamilton Literary Awards, and we wanted to highlight Streams that Lead Somewhere by Farah Malik, which won the poetry award in 2023. Streams That Lead Somewhere focuses on perseverance and the silver lining that is ever on the horizon, with the expectation that you can make it out of any trial or tribulation if you follow your dream to wherever it leads.

This year, Linzey Corridon's poetry collection, West of West Indian, has been shortlisted for the same award. West of West Indian collects a distinctly q***r, Vincentian-Canadian account of love and autonomy. While it represents a written journey into q***r pain, it is also an exhibition of pleasure flowing through the bodies and minds of its many subjects.

We are wishing Linzey all the best tonight, and we will be cheering him on from the audience.

Both titles are currently on sale on our website (https://bit.ly/2qFakVH) and are available to order from your favourite bookstore.
