"Poetry has always been independent, unaffiliated with any institution or university—or with any single poetic or critical movement or aesthetic school. It continues to print the major English-speaking poets while presenting emerging talents in all their variety. In recent years, more than a third of the authors published in the magazine have been writers appearing for the first time," says the Poetry magazine description on their website. The Poetry Foundation also offers live events, exhibitions, digital programs, and many other resources for poetry enthusiasts.
