Two of Reid's poetry collections, Love And Other Things That Hurt (1999) and The Hunger (2004) were nominated for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize. In 2023 he established the DC Reid Poets' Grant. Administered by the Writers’ Trust of Canada and funded by Reid, it provides $5000 grants to "working poets of modest means". In 2024 he set up a $1,500,000 endowment at the Writer's Trust to fund eight annual grants in perpetuity. Reid's two websites are: www.catchsalmonbc.com, and www.dcreid.ca.
