The Witter Bynner Foundation is giving the Library a five-year gift in order to award two or more poets each year, chosen by the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry in conjunction with the Library, and to encourage poets and poetry. The fellowships are to be used to support the writing of poetry. Only two things are asked of the fellows: that they organize a local poetry reading and that they participate in a poetry program at the Library of Congress.If you are accepted, you will participate in this program for 1 year(s).
