We’re so proud of E. McGregor, whose poetry collection What Fills Your House Like Smoke has been nominated for the Indigenous Voices Awards’ Published Poetry in English award.
Says the jury: “McGregor’s What Fills Your House Like Smoke offers us a portrait in verse not only of her grandmother, but of the face and lifelines of lyric’s capacity to bring both joy and grief into an intimate register that stays with you. This is an accomplished work that is both ancestral and future-bound: ‘record dispatches to yourself, your future/self or the one that’s vanished. listen.’”
Recipients will be announced on National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21. Read the full announcement here.
