Poetry magazine is the premier gathering space for poets and readers. The magazine publishes contemporary poetry and prose, primarily in English, and translations from contributors all over the world. In addition to its print publication, Poetry’s entire digital archive of more than 1,200 issues is available for free, and content from 2013 to present is available in the digital app. A true Chicago institution, Poetry has been published in the city since its founding in 1912. The Poetry Foundation is an American literary society that seeks to promote poetry and lyricism in the wider culture. It was formed from Poetry magazine, which it continues to publish, with a 2003 gift of $200 million from philanthropist Ruth Lilly. The grants program is part of the Foundation's commitment to support the field of poetry and the literary arts more robustly, equitably, and transparently. Established in 2022 when the Poetry Foundation changed from an operating to a non-operating foundation, grantmaking supports nonprofit organizations with a core commitment to poetry and the literary arts.
