In alliance with the Amazon Literary Partnership, the Academy of American Poets is pleased to announce the 2022 recipients of the Poetry Fund grants, which are provided annually to poetry organizations and presses that are selected from among a pool of applicants. The Amazon Literary Partnership originally launched the Poetry Fund with the Academy in 2019 to further its role as a supporter of poetry organizations nationwide and to build the readership of poetry.
The Academy, in cooperation with the Amazon Literary Partnership, convened a grantmaking panel this year that included Tina Cane, Anthony Cody, and Nicole Terez Dutton. Final 2022 award decisions were made by the Amazon Literary Partnership and the Academy.
