The National Poetry Map was made possible, in part, by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Academy of American Poets would also like to thank the state organizations, poets, and librarians who offered their assistance while compiling information for the map. The books Across State Lines: America's 50 States as Represented in Poetry, compiled in partnership with the American Poetry & Literacy Project, and Poets on Place: Interviews & Tales from the Road, edited by W. T. Pfefferle, were both invaluable resources. |
