Poetry On Death Biography
source(google.com)
The pharmaceutical heiress, Ruth Lilly, endowed Poetry's Ruth Lilly Prize in 1986, a $100,000 award given annually to recognize a poet's lifetime achievement. Her generosity also provided two Lilly Fellowships given annually to promising undergraduate or graduate students of poetry. Lilly's relationship with the magazine began when she submitted some of her poems in 1972, receiving handwritten rejection notes from the editors. Impressed, perhaps, by this evidence of concern for fledgling writers and pleased, as well, by the magazine's responsible use of her previous contributions, in 2002 Ruth Lilly made Poetry a bequest worth more than one hundred million dollars, ensuring the magazine's existence in perpetuity. Since then, the Modern Poetry Association, Poetry's advisory board, has reorganized itself as the Poetry Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to crafting and implementing a new vision for poetry in contemporary American culture.
Poetry's financial situation may have changed, but its mission—to print the best work written by either new or established poets—remains the same. Also unchanged is the magazine's relationship to its authors and the editors' personal encouragement of aspiring poets. Although, as T.S. Eliot noted fifty years ago, " Poetry, in fact, is not a little magazine, but an INSTITUTION," its commitment to the presentation and development of poetry remains personal—one poem, one poet, one letter at a time.
