Famous Poems Biography

Since its inception the magazine has followed the Open Door policy articulated by Monroe in the second issue. As a result of its ecumenical approach, Poetry published a variety of work, from Joyce Kilmer's poem, "Trees" (the most enduringly beloved poem the magazine has ever printed), and the work of Midwestern populists such as Carl Sandburg, Edgar Lee Masters, and Vachel Lindsay, to important early works by Eliot, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, and Robert Frost. The editorial staff's responsiveness to the variety (and volume) of work it received no doubt helped to ensure the magazine's survival and longevity. By making quality the only criterion, rather than style or politics, Poetry avoided the dangers of a too-narrow adherence to any one agenda or fashion.
Dating from the days when Monroe would boil coffee over a fire in a vacant lot next door to the offices, the Open Door policy was also interpreted more literally. Monroe offered hospitality to many poets when they traveled through Chicago, such as W.B. Yeats (for whom she also arranged a visit to a local spiritualist) and also helped many poets financially, both directly and indirectly. In fact, more than a few future contributors and editors—Janet Lewis, Yvor Winters, Hugh Kenner, Hayden Carruth, George Dillon, and Henry Rago among them—would make their way to Poetry's offices in their youth, finding the door always open.
