The Scott King Award in Eco-Poetry, established in 2026 by Trio House Press, commemorates Scott King, whose Red Dragonfly Press championed poetry that deepened readers' engagement with nature, ecology, environmentalism, rural life, and conservation. This award extends that legacy under Trio House's new Red Dragonfly imprint, offering poets a dedicated platform for work that interrogates the human relationship to the natural world. The competition is open to poets at all stages of their careers, with no restriction on background or experience. The winner receives a $1,000 prize and publication. The 2026 edition will be judged by Anna Lena Phillips Bell, whose editorial stewardship of Ecotone since 2013 and whose own poetry—including Might Could, winner of the Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize—demonstrate a sustained commitment to writing that attends to place, ecology, and the more-than-human. This award is not for poetry that merely uses nature as scenery. It seeks work that illuminates and deepens connections with the environment, whether through ecological urgency, rural specificity, or conservationist attention. The judge's background suggests a receptivity to formal range and lyrical precision, but the thematic center remains the living world and our place within it.
