The California Poetry Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting poetry and supporting poets in California. Founded in 1937, it provides a platform for poets to share their work, connect with others, and participate in various poetry-related events and contests. The society also publishes an annual anthology that showcases the best poems submitted by its members. Through workshops, readings, and networking opportunities, the California Poetry Society fosters a vibrant community for both emerging and established poets, encouraging creativity and collaboration within the literary arts.
