POETRY MAGAZINE ON SORA
“Every sport, every little industry requires its own corner, its own voice, that it may find its friends, greet them, welcome them.”
— Harriet Monroe, founding editor of Poetry (1912)
As part of our April Poetry Month series, we’re highlighting Poetry magazine, available through our free to borrow digital collection on SORA.
There is something nice about a magazine like Poetry. It does not ask for a huge time commitment, and it does not need to be read in order. You can open an issue, read one poem, and still find something worth sitting with.
Founded in 1912, Poetry has been introducing readers to poems and poets for more than a century. Over the years, it has published many of the most recognizable voices in literature while continuing to make space for new and emerging writers. That means each issue offers a mix of voices, styles, and perspectives, and there is always the chance you will come across something unexpected.
That feels especially fitting to celebrate during Poetry Month, a time to celebrate writing that helps us notice, reflect, question, and feel a little more deeply.
“We want the magazine to question even as it provides respite, to be a space where every kind of poetry can be read, heard, and received with the curiosity and wonder it deserves.”
— Adrian Matejka, editor of Poetry magazine
You can find Poetry on SORA as part of our free digital collection.
