Poets Don Domanski and George Murray will be reading at the Confederation Centre Library at 3:30 pm on May 10. This reading is sponsored by the PEI Writers' Guild with financial and other assistance provided by the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia.
Don Domanski has been nominated for the 11th annual Atlantic Poetry Prize for All Our Wonder Unavenged (Brick Books). All Our Wonder Unavenged was written over a seven year period, and continues Don Domanski’s exploration of the ordinary and the extraordinary, and the ways in which they illuminate each other, transforming through unexpected contexts. He lives in Halifax and is currently a writer in electronic residence with the Banff School.
Also nominated for 11th annual Atlantic Poetry Prize is George Murray’s book The Rush to Here (Nightwood Editions). Combining what he calls “thought-rhyme” with the structured sonnet form, George Murray’s philosophical curiosity and hardnosed intelligence emerge to create an off-kilter eye that somehow manages to be dead on target. As though looking out a window outside of which the entire world is passing by, The Rush to Here darts through the absurdity of daily life to organize the mess and contradictions of modern society. He lives in St. John’s, Newfoundland and is the editor and publisher of the literary website Bookninja.com
