The Griffin Poetry Prize Anthology - Phyllis Webb

The fourth volume of The Griffin Poetry Prize Anthology includes selections from the books shortlisted for the 2004 Griffin Poetry Prizes, chosen by the jurors: Billy Collins (U.S. Poet Laureate 2001-2003), Bill Manhire (New Zealand Poet Laureate), and Phyllis Webb (recipient of the Governor General's Award for poetry), who will also provide an introduction to the book. The shortlist was announced on April 1, 2004, and the winners were announced in early June 2004. Royalties generated from The Griffin Poetry Prize Anthologies will be donated to UNESCO's World Poetry Day, created to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard in their communities.
