Two Canadians make Dylan Thomas Prize longlist
Canadian authors Adebe D.A. and Eleanor Catton have made the Dylan Thomas Prize for Young Writers longlist – Adebe D.A. for her debut poetry collection, ex nihilo (Frontenac House), and Catton for her debut novel, The Rehearsal (McClelland & Stewart). The £30,000 prize is given out by the University of Wales to English-language authors under 30.
Adebe D.A. is a 23-year-old writer who recently completed her master’s degree at York University, where she served as assistant editor of the literary journal Existere. She was also named Toronto’s first Junior Poet Laureate in 2005. Twenty-four-year-old Catton was born in London, Ontario, but grew up in New Zealand. The Rehearsal has already won the Adam Prize for Creative Writing and the U.K. Society of Authors’ Betty Trask Award.
