Poetry and People International Poetry Prize

The Poetry and People International Poetry Prize is an annual international lifetime achievement award given to poets around the world by the poetry magazine Poetry and People and its founder Huang Lihai. The first “Poetry and People Poet Prize” was awarded in 2005 to Eugénio de Andrade, before it changed its name to “Poetry and People International Poetry Prize”. Recipients since have included Derek Walcott, Lan Lan, Xi Chuan and Rita Dove. The prize was given to Tomas Tranströmer in April 2011, six months before it was announced that he was to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.[1]
