The Tucson Poetry Festival(TPF) is one of the oldest poetry festivals in the United States. The TPF has been part of the Tucson creative writing landscape since its inception in 1981 by founding president, John Hudak. However, the first Tucson Poetry Festival was held in 1983. TPF has exposed renowned poets to Tucson for over 30 years and is still in existence. Some of the most renowned poets include: Allen Ginsberg, Joy Harjo, Simon Ortiz, W.S. Merwin, Yusef Komunyakaa, Sherman Alexie, Diane di Prima, Wanda Coleman, N. Scott Momaday, Gary Snyder, and many more greats.
This collection spans the entirety of the Tucson Poetry Festival’s existence from 1982-2004. The bulk of the collection is administrative materials pertaining to TPF committee coordination. Administrative materials include committee minutes and agendas, poet-organization correspondence, and grant applications. Newspapers and ephemera such as TPF posters, flyers, and program trifolds are also included. Users will be able to investigate the relationship with poets and the organizational structure that the TPF has constructed throughout their history as a venue for artistic expression.
