History

The American Poetry Review was founded by Berg and Parker in 1972 in Philadelphia.[2] The magazine lacked capital but had "significant support in the national poetry community" according to the magazine's website. By 1976, the publication was being produced and distributed more efficiently, making it "the most widely circulated poetry magazine ever". In 1977, the publication began paying out small salaries to editors and staff and small payments to authors.[3]

In 2001, W.W. Norton & Co. published the anthology The Body Electric: America's Best Poetry from The American Poetry Review.[4]
