About the Poetry & Literature Center
In addition to scheduled public events, the Center administers the Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry, a biannual $10,000 award for the best book of poetry published by a living United States author during the two years preceding the year of the award. The Center also coordinates the Witter Bynner Fellowships for newer poets, a five-year program to recognize emerging talent. Over the years, recordings of poets reading from their works have been made for the collections of the Library of Congress. These poetry archives may be consulted through the Library’s Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division. |
