I am honoured that The Work has won the 2025 Pat Lowther Award for the best book of poetry published by a woman in Canada. This year’s shortlist was stellar, and I encourage you to borrow or buy the other titles from your local library or independent bookstore (like the Bookmark). Thanks to Gaspereau Press for their care and beautiful design, and my family for trusting me with this personal story. And thanks to the judges for their kind words about The Work!
