The Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry, established in 1972 through a bequest from Witter Bynner, is dedicated to perpetuating the art of poetry and promoting its positive effects on society. With a focus on expanding awareness and creative uses of poetry, the foundation encourages grant proposals that contribute to the cultural significance of poetry in American society.
Witter Bynner, a versatile man of letters, dedicated his life to literature and eloquently advocated for the individual dignity of his fellow men. Through his poetry, he explored various forms of literary expression and engaged with political, social, and artistic values. The foundation continues his legacy by supporting poetry-related initiatives and fostering a deeper appreciation for the power of poetry in New Mexico and beyond.
