Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize

January 01, 1970

The Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize Competition is a biennial program of Letras Latinas in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame Press. Founded in 2004, the Latino poetry competition seeks to publish the first collection of a promising Latino-American poet who has not previously published a book of poetry.

Honoring Andrés Montoya edit

The award is named in honor of Andrés Montoya, a Chicano poet. Montoya passed away from leukemia in 1999 before the publication of his book, The Iceworker Sings and Other Poems. That collection would later go on to win the 1997 UC Irvine Chicano/Latino Literary Prize[1] and the before Columbus 2000 American Book Award.[2] Bilingual Press issued a second printing of the book in 2017. 2019 will mark the 20th anniversary since its publication.

Founder and Coordinator edit

In his role as director of Letras Latinas, the literary initiative at the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame, Francisco Aragón founded the Prize in 2004 and serves as its coordinator.
