Congratulations to Rob Winger ('97) for his Governor General's Literary Award nomination for his first book, Muybridge's Horse.
NEW: Rob will be doing a reading at Mount Allison: November 15, 7 pm, Cranewood
Rob grew up in a tiny Ontario town, and has since lived in eastern Canada and Asia. His work has been published in literary journals across the country, and selections from Muybridge’s Horse won first prize for poetry in English in the 2003 CBC Literary Awards judged by P.K. Page, Dionne Brand and George Bowering.
Currently at work at a doctoral degree in English and cultural studies, Winger lives with his family in Ottawa, Ontario, where he skates to work each winter.
The Governor General's Literary Awards come with a prize of $25,000, raised this year from $15,000.
The winners will be announced Nov. 27.
