The Writers’ Trust of Canada today announced the finalists for the 2017 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers.

Included amongst this year’s finalists is Ali Blythe for his debut poetry collection, Twoism. Part roving eye, part devotion, Twoism challenges notions of identity and self, urging readers to enter rooms that are not their own, to try on clothes and skins that are not quite theirs.
