Poetry: A Magazine of Verse

Poetry: A Magazine of Verse (1929–), founded at Chicago by Harriet Monroe and edited by her until 1936. Later editors have included Karl Shapiro and John Frederick Nims. Long the major journal exclusively devoted to poetry, and the precursor of many other little magazines, Poetry has had an extremely stimulating influence on American literature. Without confining itself to any school or type, it has published the work of such diverse authors as Sandburg, Amy Lowell, T.S. Eliot, Frost, H.D., Ezra Pound (for a time an editor), Vachel Lindsay, and Hart Crane, and in many cases first brought them to public attention.
