The Nelson Ball Prize longlist was announced on October 30. Judges Beverley Daurio and James McDonald — both publishers of Nelson and close friends — read through 110 publications released in 2018 and 2019 to arrive at this list. The prize rewards a distinguished publication by a Canadian poet, published in Canada, that features "poetry of observation," one of Nelson's great interests.
Here is the longlist:
Cameron Anstee, The Book of Annotations (Invisible Publishing, 2018)
Mike Barnes, Braille Rainbow (Biblioasis, 2019)
Michael E. Casteels, snowfall (Puddles of Sky Press, 2018)
