We also consulted with JMU librarians and offer our sincerest thanks to Christie Liu, Elaine Kaye, and Liz Thompson, who helped us with the instructional design of both the project and our week working with our participants. We would also like to thank James Madison University Communications & Marketing Staff for all of their assistance in telling the story of the Furious Flower Syllabus and helping to introduce these materials to the world.

Thank you to past and present Furious Flower team members: L. Renée, Megan Medeiros, Jessica Carter, Joanne V. Gabbin, Founding Executive Director of Furious Flower Poetry Center, and the Furious Flower Poetry Center Advisory Board, with special thanks to Iliana Cosme-Brooks, our Syllabus Project graduate assistant.

The Furious Flower Syllabus Project was made possible by a 2022 Poetry Foundation Equity-in-Verse grant.
