2023 Windham-Campbell Prize Winners

Recipients were announced for the 2023 Windham-Campbell Prizes, including authors of genre interest. Alexis Pauline Gumbs and dg nanouk okpik were honored for Poetry, and both Percival Everett and Ling Ma were honored for Fiction.

The Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prize was established in 2013 “to call attention to literary achievement and provide writers with the opportunity to focus on their work independent of financial concerns.” The prize is administered by Yale University, with a new nominating committee every year, and a jury choosing eight winners from those nominees. Authors are not told if they are under consideration before the prizes are announced. Each winner receives “an unrestricted grant” of $165,000.

For more information, including the full list of recipients, see the Windham-Campbell Prize website.
