Since 1932 the North Carolina Poetry Society has existed as an all-volunteer organization especially for poets and friends of poetry. The Poetry Society holds regular meetings three times a year in Southern Pines, North Carolina, at the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities. Our meeting dates are the third Saturdays of January, May, and September, when we gather for a day of poetry and programs from 10 a.m. until about 3 p.m.
Meetings are free and open to any interested persons.
Contest awards are presented at the May meeting. The annual Poet Laureate Award, judged by the state's poet laureate. Reduced submission fee for members. Yearly publication of Award-Winning Poems , providing winners deserved recognition. Members receive a free copy.
