Poetry is a USA magazine covering Books and Literature.

Founded in Chicago by Harriet Monroe in 1912, Poetry magazine is devoted to verse in the English language. Poetry's mission is to print the best poetry written today, in whatever style, genre, or approach. The magazine published the first important poems of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, H.D., William Carlos Williams, Carl Sandburg, and other important writers. In succeeding decades it has presented works by virtually every major contemporary poet. Poetry magazine has always been independent, unaffiliated with any institution or university. It continues to print the major English-speaking poets, and in recent years, more than a third of the authors published in the magazine have been young writers appearing for the first time. On average, the magazine receives over 90,000 submissions per year, from around the world.

The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine, is an independent literary organization committed to a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture. It exists to discover and celebrate the best poetry and to place it before the largest possible audience.

This magazine is owned by The Poetry Foundation.
