Hot
off the Press
I'm
spending all of my time on photography now, so
there's little in the writing world to report.

Nonfiction appeared
in Fine Gardening, The Mercury Reader (USA), and
is upcoming in Little Sisters online magazine.
--Feb 2005
My article 'Waiting
for Dierdre' was a finalist in the 2004 CBC Literary
Awards.
My story 'The Lost
Boy' won the $6000 2003 CBC Literary Awards and
will be broadcast on CBC Radio's Between the Covers
April 12 2004 and published in EnRoute magazine
in July.
The jury was Anne
Michaels, Thompson Highway and Austin Clarke,
who said they found The Lost Boy "authentic,
credible, moving, passionate."
"The jury selected
our first prize winner for several reasons. We
were very moved by this story. It's told in very
simple language and in a very restrained way,
but it's dealing with profound, profound emotion.
With very little expository detail, the writer
lets us know the details that we need to know
and manages to show the very intricrate relationships
and sorrows between the historical moment and
the family drama."--Anne Michaels
The Missouri Review
nominated my story 'Social Discourse: 1944' for
a Pushcart Prize.
My story 'Sperm King'
won the grand prize in the 2003 Prism International
Short Story Contest. Contest judge Nancy Lee said:
“Hamilton’s keen sense
of scene, her instincts around timing and delivery,
her ability to balance humour and a churning emotional
under-current impressed me immediately. The dialogue,
clever and knife-edge sharp, resonated with sub-text.
Her characters—multi-demensional, complex
in their desires and anxieties—were at once
sympathetic and accountable, their desperate actions
forcing me to smile and cringe at the same time.
“Sperm King’ delved into the entanglements
of relationship and jealousy, the complicated,
often unconsidered ways in which ordinary people
pursue, discard, and tolerate one another. Hamilton’s
approach was mature and insightful, satisfying
in its willingness to do more than skim the surface
of scenes, to dip into the mire of need and insecurity
that stains everyday interactions.”
I have recent stories
in the New Quarterly, Prism International, the
Missouri Review and Alaska Quarterly Review.
There is an article
in "The Writer's Presence;
a Pool of Readings" 4e, Bedford/St. Martin's
(2003).
North by North Wit,
a humour anthology from Black Moss Press, reprinted
my prize-winning essay from Grain Magazine called
'Being Jane Hamilton.'
There was an interview
in the poetry magazine CVII. It's reprinted on
the interview page.
My story 'Goombay
Smash' is out in the German zine Gender Forum.
The Portugese Catholic
University is including my prize-winning poem
'Luby's Cafeteria, Killeen TX' (from Stand, UK)
in Staging Foreign Language Learning, an in-service
training manual for EU foreign language teachers.
My story 'No Puffin'
came out in Best Lesbian Short Stories 2004 (Alyson).
My story 'Half Waikiki'
will appear in the Alaska Quarterly Review.
