Synopses & Reviews
The Globe and Mail called the Griffin Poetry Prize a rich tribute” to the form and an annual report on the state of the poetry nation.” This years edition, featuring some of the finest work from the collections of extraordinary poets worldwide, reads like a whos who of contemporary poetry. Selections were chosen by noted poets Michael Redhill, Saskia Hamilton, and Dennis ODriscoll, and the result is a rich mosaic of a form that remains, in its relatively compact shape but often complex language, one of literature's most enduring gifts.
