The biennial Ross and Davis Mitchell Prize for Faith and Poetry awards more than $25,000 to Canadian poets whose work wrestles with the complexity of religious belief. We want to hear from Canadian poets and writers who are grappling with the divine, those for whom poetry is—as Christian Wiman would describe it—a form of theology.
The Mitchell Prize seeks to encourage writers whose poems foster access to spiritual experience—writers whose poems work as lenses through which the world is more closely seen. Poets working in any faith tradition are welcome to enter. Presented by Image, the prize is open to all writers currently living in Canada and Canadian citizens living abroad.
