The New England Poetry Club –
Bringing poets and readers together since 1915
Our mission is to vitalize poetry in our region and beyond by encouraging and recognizing poetic achievement, and by extending the appreciation of this elegant and electric art form to an ever-expanding, diverse community of poets and readers.
Members of the New England Poetry Club are poets, publishers, readers, and translators of poetry, who live in New England or have strong ties to the region. We run the oldest poetry reading series in the country, offer an ongoing writing workshop open to all members, and sponsor awards and contests.
