Congratulations to Trina Moyles’s BLACK BEAR, winner of the 2026 Governor General Literary Award for Non-fiction!
“In Black Bear, Trina Moyles explores the heartbreaking bonds that ground us in a complicated humanity. Shifting from a more intimate view toward an expansive environmental understanding, she develops her perspective as a fire tower lookout in the wilds of Alberta. Moyles possesses a disciplined memoirist’s talent for compression, while evoking the numinous aspects and grounded realities of nature.”
—Peer assessment committee: Linda Morra, Naben Ruthnum and Lindsay Wong
