Information on the 2024 Decision Process

All applications have been reviewed by paid external reviewers who are working poets. Finalists and awardees will be determined by an external committee of paid final round judges.

One of the Poetry Foundation’s priorities when selecting the 2024 Fellows is to support poets who have not had substantial institutional support in their careers thus far.
