It is with great\u00a0pleasure that the Literary Translators\u2019 Association of Canada\u00a0extends an open invitation to virtually\u00a0attend the\u00a037th<\/sup>\u00a0John Glassco Translation Prize<\/a>\u00a0gala, which will air on our Facebook page<\/a>on\u00a0Thursday, the 25th of November at 7pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event will be hosted by the incomparable Alexandra Irimia<\/a>, PhD candidate at Western University and student\u00a0member of the association. Alexandra will\u00a0shepherd\u00a0us through a celebration of literary translation as we: recognise the accolades lauded upon our members this past year;\u00a0celebrate two new honorary members;\u00a0are treated to lively discussion between\u00a0John Glassco scholars Brian Busby<\/a> and Patricia Godbout<\/a> in which they examine the poet and translator’s legacy in Canadian letters; and, of course, award the prize named in his honour.<\/p>\n

The winner, an emerging translator deemed to have produced an exceptional first book-length translation, will be awarded a $1000 prize as well as free membership for a year.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s jury was chaired\u00a0by Arianne Des Rochers<\/a>, and included Nicolas Calv\u00e9<\/a>, Alex Gauthier<\/a>, and Aleshia Jensen<\/a>, professional literary translators and full members of the LTAC.<\/p>\n

With warm regards,<\/p>\n
