Thom Gunn shares £40,000 award
The David Cohen British literature award for lifetime achievement, modelled on the French Prix Goncourt and awarded every two years, has this year been presented to novelist Dame Beryl Bainbridge and poet Thom Gunn, The Guardian reports. Gunn is the first poet to win the award.
World's biggest poetry prize announces shortlist
The Griffin Poetry Prize, which at $40,000 is the most lucrative poetry prize in the world, has revealed a shortlist for 2003. The list contains three nominees for the prize's Canadian short list - P.K. Page, Dionne Brand and Margaret Avison - and four nominees in its international competition - Kathleen Jamie, Paul Muldoon and C.D. Wright, Canada's National Post writes. The finalists were selected by a panel consisting of Irish poet Michael Longley, American Sharon Olds and Canadian Sharon Thesen.
New poetry prize cancels its inaugural award
The newly founded Trillium Book Prize for Poetry in English, a $10,000 Canadian prize for the first book of poetry by a poet resident in Ontario, has announced there will be no finalists this year. "The English jury unfortunately decided that none of [the submitted titles] stood out enough to receive an award of excellence this year," a spokeswoman said, according to a story on Goodreports.net. The decision has led to public criticism of the prize, Toronto's Globe and Mail adds, and a petition clamoring for a new jury to choose a new winner by April 23.
