Raiziss/de Palchi Translation Awards |
|
Established in 1995, this award recognizes outstanding translations into English of modern Italian poetry through a $10,000 book prize and a $25,000 fellowship, given in alternating years.
The $10,000 Raiziss/de Palchi Book Prize is given in alternate years for the translation into English of a significant work of modern Italian poetry. The prize was established through a bequest by Sonia Raiziss Giop, a poet, translator, and longtime editor of the literary magazine Chelsea.
Publishers may submit books published anytime in the past (not necessarily in 2011), but only books by living translators of
standard (non-dialect) Italian are eligible. Self-published collections do not qualify. Postmark deadline: January 31, 2012.
The judges for the 2012 Book Award are Geoffrey Brock, Victoria Surliuga, and Anthony Julian Tamburri.
Send four copies of each book (no manuscripts) to:
The Raiziss/de Palchi Book Prize
The Academy of American Poets
75 Maiden Lane, Suite 901
New York, NY 10038
Each submission must be accompanied by an entry form.
