Dear Prof,
Please refer to the email below: I am excited to inform that I have been shortlisted for the Archibald Lampman Award for poetry for my new collection of poems, DisPlace: The Poetry of Nduka Otiono.
It is noteworthy that the award is administered by Arc Poetry Magazine which was founded in 1978 by three professors at Carleton University.
The Jury said:
Otiono's edited collection of poetry reflects consummate diasporic writing, as at ease in Lagos as in Edmonton. Crafty and aware, these poems give us Otiono's take on history, global petroleum, national politics, but also spend valuable time musing on tradition, literature, and love. Beyond the poems themselves—which churn with linguistic play, rhythmic force, and searing insight—this volume includes helpful commentary and a thoroughly illuminating interview between Otiono and Chris Dunton. Wonderful poetry from a poet who is already internationally important.
The announcement of the Archibald Lampman Award winner will take place at the Ottawa Book Awards ceremony. The event will take place in person on Wednesday, October 19th, 2022, at Les Lye Studio at the Meridian Theatre, starting at 7 PM EST.

Lastly, we've heard from the City of Ottawa that the Ottawa Book Awards ceremony is taking place in person Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at Les Lye Studio at the Meridian Theatre. The ceremony will start at 7:00 p.m. and will be followed by a reception at 8:00 p.m. They have confirmed the participation of the Mayor and host, Hugues Beaudoin-Dumouchel.
