Rothesay writer Anne Compton has been nominated for a Governor General Literary Award for poetry.

Compton, who teaches writing at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, is nominated for her latest collection, Processional.

As a finalist, Compton immediately received $1,000. The winner of the prize received $15,000.

Compton said she didn't know she was on the shortlist until her niece called from Prince Edward Island. "She said 'congratulations'. And I said – rather grumpily – 'what for?' She said that her husband had just heard on the wire service that I had been shortlisted for the Governor General's Award in poetry. I was full of disbelief and she had to repeat it over and over again," said Compton.

Other nominees for poetry include; Barry Dempster, Holland Landing, Ont., for The Burning Alphabet, Erin Moure, Montreal, for Little Theatres, W.H. New, Vancouver, for Underwood Log, Olive Senior, Toronto, for Over the Roofs of the World.

The winners of the Governor General Literary Awards will be announced Nov. 16.


Anne Compton, who teaches English at UNB Saint John, was the 2003 winner of the Atlantic Poetry Prize, beating out a number of other poets from across the region. The book of poetry, Opening the Island, was Dr. Compton's first and was lauded by the judges as being "work that consistently delivers marvels of wit, mystery, humour and sentiment."
