Scott Griffin is shaking up the Canadian poetry landscape for the second time in a year, lending his name to the Writers' Trust poetry prize and more than doubling its purse.
The move, which turns the Latner Writers' Trust Poetry Prize into the Latner Griffin Writers' Trust Poetry Prize and bumps its value from $25,000 to $60,000, comes months after the philanthropist did away with the Canada-only category of the Griffin Poetry Prize.
The Griffin Poetry Prize, administered by the Griffin Trust for Excellence in Poetry, used to have a Canada-only category and an international-only category — worth $65,000 apiece. They were combined last September into a single $130,000 award. Indeed, the Griffin Prize's first global long list contains 10 works, including two translations. Of the twelve people named, three are Canadian.
