Steven Price is both poet and novelist. Two of his novels were shortlisted for the Giller Prize in 2016 and 2019. His first book of poetry, Anatomy of Keys, won the Gerald Lampert Award. His most recent novel, Lampedusa, one of the Giller short list selections would have been the subject of his reading when we unfortunately had to cancel the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Anticipation has built up over the past two years and we are excited that he has agreed to be our closing author on August 6, 2022. Steven is currently at work on a new novel.
