The Poetry Society of Tennessee

History and Mission
The Charter of  The Poetry Society of Tennessee was granted June 30, 1953.

Our purpose is to bring into being a close comradeship and mutual working fellowship among the unrecognized poets of the State and to make an effort for the recognition of the established channels of expression sponsoring the recognition of Poetry as a creative art in the educational institutions within this State by encouraging the youth of Tennessee to secure the cultural background and appreciation necessary to achieve stature as a poet and assisting and encouraging in every way possible the development of creative talent in the field of poetry.
