Each year, the best English-language books of poetry are honored with the Griffin Poetry Prize, one of the world's richest and most influential literary awards. And each year, poetry lovers and readers eagerly await the release of the Griffin Poetry Prize short-list anthology. The 2008 Griffin Poetry Prize Anthology includes poems from all the books selected this year. It gathers together an absolute who’s who of contemporary poets and introduces readers to some of the finest works within their short-listed collections. While honoring today’s finest poets, the anthology also gives hope to the poets of tomorrow: royalties generated from the anthology 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.
