The Montreal Poetry Prize Anthology 2024

According to the publisher, "Founded in 2010, the Montreal International Poetry Prize has established itself as a major event in contemporary poetry. The 2024 anthology again listens for that vocal register capable of imagining justice and confessing desolation in tones at once private and resonant, the register that is the lyric. In forms recognizable and new, these poems speak their commentary and comment on their speech, plunging us into the sounds and self-reflections that distinguish poetic self-knowing as one of the oldest and highest arts." The publisher notes that a team of professors and students at McGill University recruited the distinguished international jury to sift the entries to the 2024 competition, and from those thousands, these sixty-five poems were chosen for their meaning to the average reader.
