Poetry Stamps for 2012 Revealed


Although Valparaiso Poetry Review stopped accepting postal submissions earlier this year, I was curious to see which literary figures would be included in the series of stamps dedicated to poets that will be issued by the U.S. Post Office in 2012. Above are images of the stamps that have been announced (click image to enlarge). The 10 poets featured: Joseph Brodsky (1940 - 1996); Gwendolyn Brooks (1917 - 2000); William Carlos Williams (1883 - 1963); Robert Hayden (1913 - 1980); Sylvia Plath (1932 - 1963); Elizabeth Bishop (1911 - 1979); Wallace Stevens (1879 - 1955); Denise Levertov (1923 - 1997); e. e. cummings (1894 - 1962); and Theodore Roethke (1908 - 1963).
