Instituted in 1989 by the benefactor Ruth Lilly (d. 2009), the Fellowships promote the craft and study of poetry in all its wonderful forms.

The Foundation will reveal the receivers of the fellowships in September 2014. Poetry magazine, the oldest literary publication for poets, will also feature the winners in the November 2014 issue.
