Jenna Butler shortlists for the Governor General's Award
Congratulations to Jenna Butler whose non-fiction book Revery: A Year of Bees has been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award for Non-fiction!
Each time we prepare to unveil the Governor General’s Literary Awards, which recognize and celebrate some of the year’s greatest works of literature from Canada, I am struck by the talent, imagination and creativity of the individuals who bring these books into our lives. Given the many challenges we’ve all faced over the past nineteen months, I am especially grateful and humbled to honour these authors and their work. Literature can serve many purposes and in the midst of these uncertain times, as we witness the ongoing transformation of our society, I trust in the power of these incredible books to heal, connect and continue to move us forward.
– Simon Brault, Director and CEO, Canada Council for the Arts
