The 2013 winners are:
Canadian category:
What’s the Score? (M)
by David McFadden
"The often outrageous and always wise follow-up to 2008’s Governor General’s Award–nominated Be Calm, Honey
shows David W. McFadden at his most inquisitive and provocative. Here
you’ll find ninety-nine poems full of surprises by a Canadian
long-distance poet in his sixth decade of writing, a writer who never
rests on his laurels or allows himself to become complacent. This is a
book full of mystics and Golden Age movie stars, friends of McFadden and
long-dead philosophers, and their tales are all told in the poet’s
deceptively plainspoken voice." publisher International category:
Like a Straw Bird it Follows Me, and Other Poems (M)
by Ghassan Zaqtan, translated by Fady Joudah
"In this inspired translation of Like a Straw Bird It Follows Me, Ghassan Zaqtan's tenth and most recent poetry collection, along
with selected earlier poems, Fady Joudah brings to English-language
readers the best work by one of the most important and original
Palestinian poets of our time. With these poems Zaqtan enters new
terrain, illuminating the vision of what Arabic poetry in general and
Palestinian poetry in particular are capable of."- publisher
