Can teachers request additions to the anthology?
Yes. The NEA and the Poetry Foundation plan to continually expand the selection of poems available on the website. We will try to satisfy anthology requests whenever possible, but please remember that copyright permissions and other issues must be taken into consideration. Poems in the public domain may be easier to include, and we cannot include poems in translation. Please note that student-authored poems will not be included on the website and cannot be recited as part of the official competition.
