About this quiz
The Pulitzer Prize for Poetry goes to a distinguished volume of original verse by an American author. It has been awarded since 1922, when Edwin Arlington Robinson won for his Collected Poems.
- There are 104 winners in the pool, from 1922 to 2026, and each round deals 12.
- The decade is that of the award year, which is usually the year after the book came out.
- A wrong pick shows the right decade and the year, and the round goes on.
