Two Canadian translators have made the longlist for this year's Griffin Poetry Prize. However, among the ten books that are up for the award, none of the writers are Canadian. And there are no Canadian publishers. Paul Vermeersch joins Elamin to react to the news and unpack how recent changes to the prize's criteria might impact the future visibility of Canadian poets on the international stage. It’s also the first year since those changes were implemented that none of the writers up for the award are Canadian. And there are no Canadian publishers nominated either. The longlist, however, did include two Canadian translators.
