Happy 2024! We're kicking off this new year with Chicago poet and the Defender of the American poet and the art form: Harriet Monroe! Monroe used her power and position to secure the value of poetry in American culture, while also supporting the careers of dozens of iconic poets. Establishing what we now know as Poetry Magazine, Monroe's efforts have changed the way we understand and experience poetry! We also celebrate Public Domain Day and the new works that entered the Public Domain on Jan 1st!
