Poets.org and Quarterly West Partner to Share Poems

New York, NY (April 11, 2018)—The Academy of American Poets, the producer of Poets.org, is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Quarterly West to share poems published in this influential journal. A sampler of poems from the most recent issue of Quarterly West is now accessible to Poets.org’s many millions of readers, including poems by Emma Bolden, Dorothy Chan, Luiza Flynn-Goodlett, Elizabeth Knapp, and Dean Young. 

 

“Nothing makes us happier than being able to work with today’s excellent regional journals publishing poets, including Quarterly West, to bring poems to an even wider audience thanks to Poets.org,” said Jennifer Benka, executive director of the Academy of American Poets.

 

Quarterly West joins Hayden’s Ferry Review, Tin House, The Cincinnati Review, and Kenyon Review as content partners of the Academy of American Poets.
