Ventures in Poetics Publishing (VIPP) Fund
The Ventures in Poetics Publishing (VIPP) Fund was established by Dr. Lucia C. Getsi to benefit the Publications Unit in the Department of English at Illinois State University by providing fundamental support for both new and existing affiliated publications, projects, and programs that shape and advance the interconnected fields of poetry, poetics, and publishing. VIPP initiatives seek to foster artistic and intellectual collaboration, creative practice, and community building among students, staff, and faculty--as well as with the wider poetic and literary community--to create an enduring legacy of poetics publishing activity at the Publications Unit.
