All of us here at the Descant office would like to extend a fashionably-late congrats to Now Hear This! Program Coordinator Pasha Malla, whose short story “Respite” was nominated for the 2007 Writer’s Trust of Canada/McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize.

“Respite” was originally published in Issue #156 of The Malahat Review.

Posted on August 14, 2007 by WordPress| Leave a comment

The successes for Descant contributors are seemingly never-ending, with the announcement that Michael Redhill has been named to the long list for the 2007 Man Booker Prize for fiction. His second novel Consolation won him the spot, and judges will consider this work for the $100,000 grand prize.

All of us here at Descant would like to congratulate Mr. Redhill for his outstanding achievement, and wish him all the best.

Redhill’s poetry can be found in Descant 84: Sixteen Poets and Descant 100: From Bewildered to Zigzag: Romantic Love. For photocopies of either of these two issues, please email circulation@descant.ca.
