n.
U.S. poetry magazine founded in Chicago in 1912 by Harriet Monroe , who became its longtime editor.
It became the principal organ for modern poetry of the English-speaking world and survived through World War II. Because its inception coincided with the Chicago literary renaissance , it is often associated with the raw, local-colour poetry of Carl Sandburg , Edgar Lee Masters , Vachel Lindsay , and Sherwood Anderson , but it also championed new formalistic movements, including Imagism . Ezra Pound was its European correspondent; among the authors it published were T.S. Eliot , Wallace Stevens , Marianne Moore , D.H. Lawrence , and William Carlos Williams .
