The James Laughlin Award , formerly the Lamont Poetry Prize , is given annually for a poet's second published book; it is the only major poetry award that honors a second book. The award is given by the Academy of American Poets , and is noted as one of the major prizes awarded to younger poets in the United States.[ 1]
In 1959, Harvey Shapiro referred to the award as "roughly, a Pulitzer for bardlings."[ 2]
