In the late 18th century, American poetry
was at low ebb. The age was one of prose.
Early in this century, however, poetry came

founded Poetry: a Magazine of Verse, in
Chicago. She sought to encourage struggling
poets everywhere and to train readers to read
verse. The first issue quoted Whitman for its
motto: 'To have great poets, there must be
great audiences too." The founding of Poetry
was a timely act, for there were a number of
unknown poets who needed just such an
outlet for their work. Poetry published the
first or early work of nearly every
distinguished modern American poet. Poetry
magazine discovered excellent new writers
in its own backyard, the Middle West, never
until then known for its poets.
