T. S. Eliot Prize (Truman State University)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry is awarded annually by Truman State University, which is a United States university located in Missouri. First awarded in 1997, the prize is given "for the best unpublished book-length collection of poetry in English, in honor of native Missourian T. S. Eliot's considerable intellectual and artistic legacy".[1][2] The prize includes publication of the collection as well as a purse of $2000.[1] Poets submit their unpublished collections to Truman State University Press for each year's competition.[1]
