PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry

The PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry was awarded by PEN America in odd-numbered years in recognition of a book of poetry with "high literary character"[1] by a new and emerging American poet of any age with "the promise of further literary achievement."[1][2][3]

Description

The PEN American Center awards have been characterized as being among the "major" American literary prizes.[4] From 1999 to June 1, 2020,[5] the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry was awarded by PEN America (formerly PEN American Center) in odd-numbered years in recognition of a book of poetry with "high literary character"[1] by a new and emerging American poet of any age with "the promise of further literary achievement."[1][2] The winner received $5,000. The award was one of many PEN awards sponsored by International PEN affiliates in over 145 PEN centres around the world. It was replaced with an annual PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry Collection.[5]
