Mission: The Poetry Foundation transforms lives through the power of words. Our work aims to amplify poetry and celebrate poets by fostering spaces for all to create, experience, and share poetry.

As a leading digital publisher of first-rank fiction, poetry, essays, and art, each year Narrative publishes hundreds of well-known and emerging writers. The Narrative Prize, awarded annually, has helped launch the careers of authors Min Jin Lee, Maud Newton, Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Anthony Marra, Javier Zamora, and Morgan Talty, among others. The Narrative for Schools programs is used in more than 36 countries and throughout the U.S. and supports teachers and students around the world who are too often hampered by limited resources by providing a curated library of literature, lesson plans, video tutorials; as well as the annual Narrative High School Writing Contest seeks to inspire a new generation of readers and writers. Narrative was founded on the conviction that there should be no socioeconomic barriers to accessing great literature. Our global audience includes teachers, students and readers of all ages, including more than 320,000 dedicated subscribers. Our ever-expanding, modern library of thousands of stories, poems, and essays is always open and always free.
