Goose Lane Editions congratulates Wanda Nanibush and Georgiana Uhlyarik on winning the 2023 Toronto Book Award for their book, Moving the Museum: Indigenous + Canadian Art at the AGO.

“It was the night I lost a patient who I thought would survive and shared a terminal diagnosis with a man not much older than myself. I hadn’t stopped to eat, drink, or use the bathroom in over eight hours, and by the end I was exhausted. It was a difficult night but not unusual except for one thing: I felt nothing. I struggled to rally the passion I had once felt as an emergency physician. I wondered how long I could continue.”

Heather Patterson was already burnt out working as an emergency physician, and then COVID-19 hit her Calgary emergency room. Thrust into ground zero of a global crisis, Patterson began to chronicle what she saw, photographing her colleagues and patients to show the real impact of the pandemic.

Goose Lane Editions is ecstatic to announce that not one, not three, but SIX of our amazing titles have been nominated for awards in the past week!

Fall release season is just around the corner at Goose Lane Editions, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the diverse and vital titles that we have the pleasure to publish. This fall, we have works that examine the reality of global inequities, capture a world affected by COVID, and revisit one of the biggest art fraud cases in the country. These are the books that have made us laugh and made us cry. We can’t wait for all of our amazing readers to experience them with us.
