    The prestigious and highly anticipated annual anthology of the best Canadian and international poetry. The 2018 edition will be edited by Ian Williams, who was previously shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize himself, as well as the Robert Kroetsch Poetry Book Award.

    The highly anticipated annual anthology of the best Canadian and international poetry, edited by Ian Williams, Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Griffin Poetry Prize finalist.

    Each year, the best books of poetry published in English internationally and in Canada are honoured with the Griffin Poetry Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious and richest literary awards. Since 2001 this annual prize has tremendously spurred interest in and recognition of poetry, focusing worldwide attention on the formidable talent of poets writing in English and works in translation. Each year, the Griffin Poetry Prize Anthology features the work of the extraordinary poets shortlisted for the awards and introduces us to some of the finest poems in their collections.

The Griffin Poetry Prize is a rich tribute to an art form largely and stupidly ignored by the public . . . an annual report on the state of the poetry nation. * Globe and Mail *
The world’s premier international poetry prize. * Maclean’s *
Already of the first calibre — a great shortlist, great judges, great trustees, great intent. * National Post *
The Olympics of poetry. * Toronto Life *
