The Academy of American Poets was founded in 1934 to support American Poets at all stages of their careers and to foster the appreciation of contemporary poetry. The largest organization in the country dedicated specifically to the art of poetry, the Academy sponsors programs nationally. These include several of the most important awards for poetry in the United States; a poetry reading series, which began in New York City in 1963 and is now presented across the country; and other programs that provide essential support for American poets and poetry.

   "What would poetry do without The Academy of American Poets? ... It is without a doubt the most essential organization in America for the nurturance of poetry."

MONA VAN DUYN

"To have great poets there must be great audiences, Whitman said, to the more or less unheeding ears of American educators. Ambitiously, hopefully, the Academy has undertaken to remedy this plight."

ROBERT PENN WARREN

 "How much bleaker the landscape of poetry would be if the Academy did not exist!"

STANLEY KUNITZ

 "I can think of no organization that has done more to foster, promote and honor the poetry and poets of this country than The Academy of American Poets."
