Following her death in 1936, the Monroe library and Poetry archives were received as a bequest and installed in a specially designated room in Wieboldt Hall, the modern languages building on the campus of the University of Chicago.
The formal opening of the Harriet Monroe Library of Modern Poetry was marked by a festive dinner of the University of Chicago Friends of the Library on May 24, 1938.
Monroe stipulated that the committee of award for the prize should give preference to "poets of progressive rather than academic tendencies." The inaugural Harriet Monroe Poetry Award, given at the University of Chicago in June 1941, was presented to twenty-eight-year-old Muriel Rukeyser.

 Monroe
Born in Chicago in 1860, Monroe graduated from the academy of Visitation Convent in Washington, D.C., in 1879.
Monroe’s legacy lies less in her own writing than in her role as editor and publisher.
Though Monroe was a lifelong Chicagoan, her travels and range of contacts brought a cosmopolitan modernism to Poetry, one of several important small-circulation magazines that generated intellectual and cultural ferment in the period before World War I. The magazine was headquartered at 543 Cass Street (now Wabash Avenue).

But the policies of founding editor Harriet Monroe, who controlled the magazine from 1912 until her death in 1936, are of special interest to the historian of modern literature.
Monroe's own literary career, as well as the editorial policies of her magazine, reflect the processes of the transition from Victorianism to modernism.
But Monroe's discovery of Smith and Ross comes almost at the end of the long and meandering course of her editorship, in which the new modernism can be seen emerging with many disgressions, regressions, and false starts.

Harriet Monroe was apparently the only person in Chicago who could have made such an attempt.
Overawed and tormented by an older sister, Harriet was educated in a convent in Georgetown, D. C., grew dreamy, introspective and so romantic that her admirers were unable to measure up to her ideal of a lover.
Despite illness, an operation, a nervous attack, Harriet Monroe finished her ode in time, demanded and received $1,000 for it, had the satisfaction of hearing it read before an audience of 120,000, its chorus sung by 5,000 voices.

 Harriet Monroe Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Poet and editor, Harriet Monroe played a critical role in the renaissance of modern poetry that took place in the early twentieth century.
The abundant richness of this movement might well have been less spectacular without the encouragement and vitality which Poetry offered in those years when young poets were seeking to break the bonds of traditionalism and to create a new poetic voice for the modern age.
A woman of charm and strong will, Harriet Monroe was first a poet, and, because she cared deeply for the meaning of poetry as an art, she was a truly responsive and sensitive editor.

Editor, critic, and poet Harriet Monroe helped to generate interest in modern American poetry with the founding of Poetry, A Magazine of Verse, which began publication in 1912.
“Harriet’s peculiar combination of trust in her own judgment, fighting spirit, thrift, and patience made Poetry possible and pulled it through many years of life and influence,” wrote Eunice Tietjens, Monroe’s friend and associate editor.
A month before her death she told me that it had already been published for a longer period than any other publication devoted to the art of poetry in the history of English literature.

Monroe’s widely-influential anthology went through many editions, but all through 1936 include her survey of the influences behind the ‘new’ poetry, in which she notes the ‘airs from Japan’ that ‘blew in—a few translations of hokku and other forms—which showed the stark simplicity and crystal clarity of the art among Japanese poets’.
Likewise, all editions through 1936, in an attempt to present ‘the best work of twentieth-century poets of the English-speaking nations’, include a selection of poems by Yone Noguchi (see D15).
