Email Address: awards@pen.org
Editor/Consultant: Nick Burd
Country: USA/International
Type: Writers' Prize
Description: The $3,000 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation is conferred every spring in New York. The award recognizes book-length translations of poetry from any language into English published during the current calendar year, and is judged by a single translator of poetry appointed by the PEN Translation Committee. The award was made possible originally by a bequest from the late translator and PEN member Rae Dalven, and has received current support from The Kaplen Foundation. The PEN Award for Poetry in Translation complements the PEN Translation Prize, which was founded in 1963 through the efforts of the PEN Translation Committee, and was the first American award to honor the art of the literary translator. Although all eligible books must have been published in the United States, translators may be of any nationality; U.S. residency or citizenship is not required.
