The Kathleen Grattan Prize for a Sequence of Poems is an annual award for a cycle or sequence of poems with a common link or theme.
It is named after Kathleen Grattan, an Auckland poet, who died in 1990.
When Jocelyn Grattan died in 2005, she left Landfall a bequest with which to establish an award in her mother’s name (the Kathleen Grattan Award).
[2][3] She also wanted her mother’s love of poetry to be recognised by an annual competition for a sequence or cycle of poems.
This competition is run by the International Writers‘ Workshop NZ Inc (IWW).
