National Poetry Series

The National Poetry Series is a literary program that supports emerging and established poets by sponsoring the publication of their new poetry collections. Each year, a panel of judges selects several manuscripts to be published by major publishers, helping poets gain recognition and reach wider audiences. Established in 1978, it promotes the growth of American poetry and ensures diverse voices are heard within the literary community. The series plays a key role in fostering talent and enriching the cultural landscape through the publication of outstanding poetic work.
