ODU Libraries invite the Monarch community to visit the Virginia Poets Database through ODU Digital Commons. Following the collaboration with Luisa A. Igloria, the 20th Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and fellowship from the Academy of American Poets, the Libraries now offer access to the digital archive and submissions of poetry.

The Virginia Poets Database serves as a literary and educational resource and is structured using eight Virginia regions ranging from our Hampton Roads to Virginia's southwest region. For more details, please contact Karen Vaughan, head of Scholarly Communication & Publishing, at kvaughan@odu.edu.
