“Celebrating and preserving the work of Indiana poets is a very worthy project and the Indiana State Library is honored to participate in this collaboration,” State Librarian Jake Speer said.
“The Indiana Arts Commission appreciates the partnership with the Indiana State Library, which allows us to preserve and showcase the work of Hoosier poets,” IAC Executive Director Miah Michaelsen said. “The poets highlighted in the INverse Poetry Archive demonstrate the creative talent at work in Indiana.”
An initiative of former Indiana Poet Laureate Adrian Matejka, INverse celebrates and preserves the diverse range of Indiana poetry for future generations of Indiana writers and readers. In five submission cycles, the INverse Poetry Archive has preserved over 470 works from Hoosier poets.
“It’s humbling to read and hear the varied richness of talented contributors on the INverse Poetry Archive – continuing to illuminate Indiana’s creativity through poetics that I’ve been witnessing through the Pop-up Indiana Chitlin Circuit during these past months,” Indiana Poet Laureate Curtis L. Crisler said.
