PoetrySocietySC

Founded in 1920 with its hub in Charleston, The Poetry Society of South Carolina (PSSC) is the oldest state poetry society in the country. DuBose Heyward, John Bennett, and Josephine Pinckney were among the founders. An all-volunteer organization, we exist to support—statewide—the reading, writing, study, and enjoyment of poetry and the enrichment that poetry can bring.
