The Poetry Foundation evolved from the Modern Poetry Association in 2003 after receiving a major contribution from philanthropist Ruth Lily. The site includes an archive of thousands of poems and poet biographies, and users can search and browse according to poem subject matter and forms. The site also features articles, podcasts, audio and video recordings, educational materials, event listings, and poetry tours, as well as Harriet, a blog that includes poetry-related news and features a monthly blogger.
