Shantell Powell<p>The Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association now has Aurora Award voting packages available for members. My poem "Angakkuq" is a finalist, and I'd love for you to read it. Voting for it would be a delicious surprise. </p><p>You can access all the wonderful novels, poetry, short stories, illustrations, etc. which made the finals for only ten bucks Canadian. A bargain, for sure. And you don't even need to be an author to get membership. Money supports Canadian speculative authors and illustrators. <a href="https://www.csffa.ca/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">csffa.ca/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CanLit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanLit</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AuroraAward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuroraAward</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SpeculativeFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeculativeFiction</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SpeculativePoetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeculativePoetry</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PoetryCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoetryCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndigenousCreatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousCreatives</span></a></p>
Shantell Powell<p>The voter's' packages for the Aurora Awards are now available. If you're a member of the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association, you can go download them. If you're not a member, it's only ten bucks to become one, and then you can read all sorts of terrific speculative fiction and poetry. My poem "Angakkuq" is one of the contenders, and I'd be honoured if you read it.
