The Toronto Book Award is given out each year by the Toronto City Council to honour authors and books of literary merit that highlight Toronto in some way.

Congratulations to Suzanne Robertson on her nomination for her poetry collection Paramita, Little Black, published by LPG member Guernica Editions. Paramita, Little Black explores acts of transformation; documenting a journey to live and love authentically amidst the transient anatomy of our twenty-first century lives.

The winner of this year's award will be announced on October 11th at a ceremony at the Toronto Reference Library. For a full list of the nominees, please visit the City of Toronto website.
