SUMMARY:Incite: BC and Yukon Book Prizes
DESCRIPTION:Join the Vancouver Writers Fest\, VPL\, and BC and Yukon Book Prizes for an evening of celebrating the finalists of the BC and Yukon Book Prizes. Hear from three lauded local authors\, each nominated in a different category of this year’s awards: \n– Henry Tsang\, nominated for the Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award for White Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver\n– Samantha Nock\, nominated for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize for A Family of Dreamers\n– Brandon Reid\, nominated for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize for Beautiful Beautiful \nWhite Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver is a thought-provoking collection of essays and photographs that documents the anti-Asian riots of 1907 in the context of contemporary anti-Asian sentiment. Samantha Nock redefines where and what “home” is in her debut poetry collection. And Beautiful Beautiful is a coming-of-age story exploring indigeneity\, masculinity\, and cultural tradition. \nThe authors will discuss their shortlisted titles\, and the importance of place in each of their works\, with Megan Cole\, the Prize’s Director of Programming and Communications. Their insightful conversation will be rounded out by readings and an audience Q+A. \nBooks will be for sale at the event courtesy of Book Warehouse\, a division of Black Bond Books. Can’t make the event time? Register for the livestream option and we’ll send you a link to watch the recording!
