Bøger i The Griffin Poetry Prize Antho serien

ACCLAIMED EDITOR: Thammavongsa's debut short story collection is a finalist for the 2020 Scotiabank Giller prize, was a New York Times Editors' Choice, featured in The Paris Review, and generally much buzzed-about (in addition to her four poetry collections being much acclaimed in their own right). Naming her as Canadian judge of the 2021 Griffin Poetry Prize and editor of the anthology should bring some additional buzz and publicity to the prize announcement. BUZZWORTHY ANNOUNCEMENTS: The announcement of the international and Canadian shortlists (in April, Poetry Month), the readings by the shortlisted poets (in early June), and the announcement of the two $65,000 prize winners at a gala event (on the evening following the shortlist readings) generates considerable buzz around the Griffin Poetry Prize and interest in all the shortlisted poets' work.HIGHLY ANTICIPATED: The release of the Griffin Poetry Prize shortlist anthology is an annual event awaited with anticipation by poetry lovers and readers.PRESTIGIOUS: The book fulfills Anansi's mandate to display the best Canadian poets alongside the best international poets. It reinforces our position as the premier publisher of poetry in Canada.
