The Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize is a major American literary award for a first full-length book of poetry in the English language.
It has both recognized and supported emerging poets, which has allowed their work to become available to readers around the world.
The award is open to any poet writing in English who has not had a full-length book published previously.
[1] A "full-length book" of poetry is defined as a volume of 48 or more pages published in an edition of 500 or more copies.
The prize carries a cash award of $5,000 and publication by the University of Pittsburgh Press in the Pitt Poetry Series.
