It has been presented since 1922 for a distinguished volume of original verse by an American author, published during the preceding calendar year.

Finalists have been announced from 1980, ordinarily two others beside the winner.[1]

1918 and 1919 special prizes

The 1918 and 1919 Pulitzers included Special Citations for poetry books, "made possible by a special grant from The Poetry Society", which the Pulitzer program now lists as Poetry prizes.[1] See Special Pulitzers for Letters.
