NNPA NEWSWIRE — “I couldn't be more humbled or excited to be the new editor of Poetry. The 19-year-old version of me, thumbing through the magazine’s pages with wonder, would have never imagined that he would one day be part of such a vital literary institution,” said Adrian Matejka, who will join Poetry as the new editor beginning May 16. “It will be my duty to work with the brilliant staff at the magazine and the Poetry Foundation to continue transforming the magazine into an engine for 21st century poetry. I am committed to reimagining Poetry not only as a venue for poetics, but more importantly, as one that is in service of poets and treats writers as the gifts that they are.”
