We wanted to know more about Griffin nominee Shane Book's work in film, so we sat down to talk with him about his short film Praise and Blame, in which an internationally acclaimed dissident poet from Belarus with a frozen waffle obsession has a past that threatens to engulf him.

On the heels of the announcement of Shane Book's Griffin Prize nomination for his new collection Congotronic, Damian Rogers met with him to chat about immigrant mentality, bespoke Hammer pants, and anxiety at Woolco.

On the release of his seventeenth poetry collection Sequence, Damian Rogers met with the Griffin Poetry Prize-winning poet A. F. Moritz at the Royal Ontario Museum to chat about science fiction, the eternal moment, and finding inspiration in a fast food restaurant.
