- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is stunning – in both senses. The writing is beautifully crafted, but the poetry itself hits the reader hard. I've read it half a dozen times now, and each time I've gone through it in a single sitting. The relentlessness of its progress expresses the history it tells while at the same time the craft of the telling gives the reader hope.
100 Days was a finalist for an armload of awards (Pat Lowther Award from The League of Canadian Poets, the INDIEFAB Book of the Year for Poetry, the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, & the Robert Kroetsch Award for Poetry) and won the Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry and the AAUP Book, Jacket & Journal Show, Book prize for Poetry and Literature.
