NB: Three things: First, Mexico is obviously in North America. Second, I didn’t talk—or think, really—about the possibility that different demographic groups simply participate in the arts—or at least in poetry—in different numbers. So there’s that. And third, it looks like the Forward Prize is only for the UK and Ireland, so I fucked that one up.
