Robert Creeley Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Robert Creeley Foundation was a poetry foundation based in Acton, Massachusetts, dedicated to honoring the legacy of American poet Robert Creeley.[1] The Foundation presented the Robert Creeley Award to a nationally recognized poet each year, and it had an active role in promoting poetry and the arts in the local community, particularly via close relationships with the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School and Acton Memorial Library. The Foundation ceased operations in 2018.
The award and foundation stem from a "chance meeting" between Robert Clawson and Robert Creeley in late 2000.[2]
Robert Creeley participated in selecting the award winners until his death in 2005.[3]
