<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Founded in 2010, the Montreal International Poetry Prize has established itself as a major event in contemporary poetry, both in Canada and around the world. <i>The Montreal Prize Anthology 2020</i> explodes with talent, combining radiant vision with striking invention in form. The loss of a father finds equivalence in a tornado's blowing an apartment open to the night sky. Sacred and profane images of a mother pile up in couplets, making a heap of gold. Family memory stirs in the dreamy measures of a sestina. Racial injustice is defied and reversed in the unflinching mirror of a palindromic poem. A doctor confesses her life work to be a striving to right the wrong done her father. These poems, a handful of the thousands submitted to the 2020 competition, were chosen for the lone virtue of their speaking directly to the reader, with conviction and with art. <p/> In 2019, the founder of the Montreal Prize, Asa Boxer, transferred it to the Department of English at McGill University. A team of dedicated faculty and graduate students recruited a distinguished international jury, headed by Pulitzer-prize-winner <b>Yusef Komunyakaa</b>, to judge the entries. This book is the result.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The anthology contains more than one 'Hell yeah!' poetry moment--the kind of poem that avid poetry readers can use to argue poetry's merits to the unconverted." --<i>The Montreal Review of Books</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The jury of <i>The Montreal Poetry Prize Anthology 2020</i> are Jordan Abel, Kaveh Akbar, CAConrad, Wendy Cope, Susan Elmslie, Steven Heighton, John Leonard, Eli MacLaren, Marilène Phipps, Sridala Swami, and Gillian Sze.
