The best books of poetry published in English internationally are honored annually with the Griffin Poetry Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious literary awards. This annual anthology
gathers together numerous extraordinary poets and introduces us to some of the finest poems within their short-listed collections. The poems in the 2010 anthology are selected and introduced
by the Canadian member of the jury for the year’s awards. Royalties from the sales of the anthologies are 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.
