The Poetry Society of America is a national poetry organization founded in 1910 and based in Brooklyn, New York. It aims to place poetry at the crossroads of American life by turning public spaces into opportunities for people to encounter poems. The society supports poets and their work by amplifying voices on issues of common concern and recognizing their aesthetic contributions to everyday life. Its programs are designed to reach broad and diverse audiences, including underserved communities, through partnerships and public-facing initiatives. A recent development includes a collaboration with the National Park Service and the Library of Congress to present site-specific poetry installations in parks. Operating in the writing and editing sector, the organization works to broaden access to poetry beyond traditional literary settings.
