[Windham-Campbell Prizes @WindhamCampbell]

A very special day for the 2025 Windham-Campbell Prize recipients, who received their prize in a ceremony yesterday evening alongside a thought-provoking lecture from Jamaica’s poet laureate, Kwame Dawes.

Earlier that day, the recipients had the opportunity to engage in a Q&A with a group of students from the Cooperative High School.

The evening was spent at a celebratory dinner in the Beinecke with friends, family and members of the prize.

Thank you to everyone who made yesterday a success. We look forward to seeing you at our first full day of events.
