Poetry is an American poetry magazine founded in Chicago in 1912 by Harriet Monroe. Originally titled Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, it is published by the Poetry Foundation. The magazine publishes ten print issues annually and also publishes poetry, prose, translations, and archival material online. Poetry became one of the most influential English-language poetry magazines of the twentieth century. Encyclopædia Britannica states that, during Monroe's editorship, it "quickly became the world's leading English-language poetry journal" and describes it as "the principal organ for modern poetry of the English-speaking world". Its early issues published work by poets including T. S. Eliot, H.D., Ezra Pound, Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, Langston Hughes, and Rabindranath Tagore. Archival records for the magazine are held by research libraries including the University of Chicago Library and Indiana University's Lilly Library. In 2002, Ruth Lilly, an heir to the Eli Lilly pharmaceutical fortune and a longtime patron of poetry, gave $100 million to the Modern Poetry Association, the magazine's publisher. The Poetry Foundation was established the following year, and the gift was later reported as worth approximately $200 million. Since 2022, Poetry has been edited by Adrian Matejka, the first Black editor to lead the magazine.
