Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award
Established
in 1992 by Kate Tufts to honor her late husband, poet and writer Kingsley
Tufts. The Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award is presented annually for a work
by an emerging poet, one who is past the very beginning but has not yet
reached the acknowledged pinnacle of his or her career.
While some poetry prizes discover and honor new voices and others
crown an indisputably major body of work, this award at Claremont
Graduate University aims to sustain a poet who is laboring in the
difficult middle between these extremes. In 2007, the purse for this award will be $100,000.
Kate Tufts Discovery Award
Established in
1993, the Kate Tufts Discovery Award is presented annually for a first
book by a poet of genuine promise. In 2007, the purse
for this award will be $10,000.
