Canadian poet Karen Solie has won this year’s Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prize, worth US$175,000.
Solie is the only Canadian to receive this year’s literary award. This makes her the eleventh Canadian to win the Windham-Campbell Prize since its inaugural ceremony in 2013.
“Through precise, profound and wry plainspeaking verse, Karen Solielocates and interrogates the human apprehension of the world of things,” the Windham-Campbell selection committee said of Solie’s work.
