Jury Citation
“Phillip Dwight Morgan renders the landscape of Point Pelee National Park both ‘striking and perilous’ with deft skill and an uncompromising eye. Through rigorous research and outstanding literary craft, he reveals a legacy of racialized violence, cross-species intimacies, and a symphony of migratory birds that refute borders. ‘White Trucks and Mergansers’ establishes Morgan as a vital voice in the urgent work of witness and truth-telling today.”—2025 RBC Bronwen Wallace Award creative nonfiction jury (Omar Mouallem, Alessandra Naccarato, and Lindsay Wong)Works Recognized by WT
