Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize
Der Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize ist ein kanadischer Literaturpreis, der seit 1986 besteht und zu den BC Book Prizes gehört.
Er wird alljährlich im April der besten Gedichtsammlung verliehen, deren Verfasser ein Einwohner von British Columbia, Kanada, oder des Yukon-Territoriums ist. Die Preisträger müssen keine kanadischen Staatsbürger sein, sondern mindestens drei der letzten fünf Jahre in British Columbia oder dem Yukon-Gebiet gewohnt haben. Dabei können die Bücher auch in anderen Regionen oder Ländern erschienen sein. Ursprünglich wurde der Preis als B.C. Prize for Poetry bezeichnet, aber seit 1989 zu Ehren der Dichterin Dorothy Livesay, deren Gedichtsammlungen Day and Night (1944) and Poems for People (1947) den Governor General’s Award for Poetry erhalten hatten, umbenannt. Der Gewinner des Jahres 2011 wurde von den Gastgebern Bob Robertson and Linda Cullen im Kay Meek Centre, Vancouver, am 21. April 2011 im Rahmen der Lieutenant Governor’s BC Book Prize Gala verkündet. Die jeweilige Shortlist eines Jahrgangs wird im März bekannt gegeben.[1]
