Griffin Poetry Prize

Griffin Poetry Prize

Der Griffin Poetry Prize ist ein kanadischer Literaturpreis, der 2000 von Scott Griffin begründet wurde. Er wird jährlich in den Kategorien „kanadisch“ und „international“ an englischsprachige Lyriker vergeben und ist seit 2010 auf insgesamt 200.000 CAD dotiert, womit er als höchstdotierter Lyrikpreis weltweit gilt.[1] Seit 2006 wird zusätzlich ein „Lifetime Recognition Award“ an internationale Dichter vergeben. Griffins ursprüngliche Absicht bei der Begründung des Preises bestand darin, dem Feld der Lyrik in der Literaturlandschaft mehr Gewicht zu verleihen. Der Preis wird ausschließlich an erstmals veröffentlichte Lyrikbände vergeben. Er stellt an sich selbst den Anspruch, sowohl neue als auch etablierte Autoren unabhängig von ihrer Stilrichtung zu berücksichtigen.[2]
