THE GRIFFIN TRUST FOR EXCELLENCE IN POETRY

The Griffin Trust is a Canadian initiative founded in April 2000 by Scott Griffin, its chairman, with trustees Margaret Atwood, Robert Hass, Michael Ondaatje, Robin Robertson and David Young. The purpose of The Griffin Trust is to raise public awareness of the crucial role poetry must play in society's cultural life. The Griffin Trust Web site offers a veritable who's who of poet laureates -- past, present and future. Find links to poetry and poetry-related associations, publishers, interest groups, awards and events around the world, as well as to sites devoted to specific artists.
