Tibbits Poetry Endowment

Thanks in part to a generous endowment from the family of John Dennis Tibbits, the University Libraries maintains a strong collection of contemporary poetry.

The endowment allows the purchase of "books, serials, databases, and other resources on poetry and poetics with an emphasis on modern and contemporary poetry."  The Libraries' selection of materials is made in consultation with the poetry faculty of the University's Creative Writing Program.
