From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Matt Cohen Prize is an award given annually by the Writers' Trust of Canada to a Canadian writer, in honour of a distinguished lifetime contribution to Canadian literature. First presented in 2001, it was established in memory of Matt Cohen, a Canadian writer who died in 1999.
