The prize is named after the late poet Larry Levis, who was a professor at the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop. Levis was a gifted poet and teacher, and his work is known for its honesty, passion, and wit. He died in 1996 at the age of 49.

The Four-Way Levis Prize is awarded to a poet who has published at least one full-length collection of poems. The winner is selected by a jury of three poets, and the prize includes a cash award of $10,000 and publication of the winning manuscript by Four-Way Books.

The Four-Way Levis Prize has been awarded to some of the most talented poets writing today, including Rae Armantrout, Billy Collins, Louise Glück, and Terrance Hayes. The prize has helped to raise the profile of contemporary poetry and has encouraged poets to take risks and explore new territory.

The Four-Way Levis Prize is a celebration of the power of poetry. It is a reminder that poetry can be both beautiful and heartbreaking, that it can challenge our assumptions and open our eyes to new possibilities.
