For the second time in six years, Wright is a finalist for the Griffin Poetry Prize. This is Canada’s biggest poetry competition, and one of the biggest in the world. The two winners — one in the Canadian division and one in the international division — will each receive $45,000. To be a contender, you had to have published a book of poetry the previous year. Now, from a field of 485 books, the judges have reduced the field to seven: three Canadian poets, and four international poets.

The other finalists in the international division of the Griffin Poetry Prize are: Derek Mahon of Ireland; Dean Young of California and Iowa; and the late Mick Imlah of Great Britain who died in January of ALS at 52.
