For nearly 80 years, the Poetry Society of Vermont (PSOV) has been the vital heartbeat of poetry in the Green Mountain State. Since 1947, we have invited poets and enthusiasts to join us, promoting the power of the written word through enriching workshops, inspiring readings, annual contests, and our celebrated publication, The Mountain Troubadour.
Your membership sustains our foundation, ensuring the essential benefits our members rely on. However, to truly elevate poetry across Vermont—to dream bigger, reach wider, and foster the next generation of poets—we need your philanthropic partnership.
We envision a future where poetry is accessible to everyone, everywhere in Vermont. Our membership fees alone cannot fund this ambitious vision, which is why we are reaching out to ask you to become a Friend of PSOV.
Your tax-deductible donation will provide the critical funding needed to transform these essential opportunities from dreams into reality:
- Statewide and Digital Reach: Hosting a series of accessible poetry readings, both in-person throughout Vermont and online, connecting poets and audiences regardless of location.
- Cultivating Collaboration: Expanding successful partnerships, such as our recent Collaborative Poets Workshop with the New England Poetry Club.
- Celebrating Excellence: Continuing to host and promote special literary events, like the book launch for The Mountain Troubadour at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library this past July.
- Poetry in Schools: Launching dedicated engagements in Vermont schools to inspire students and foster a love for poetry among the youth.
- Modernizing Our Outreach: Investing in new technology to streamline membership registration, enhance communication, and expand our outreach efforts.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will help support the Poetry Society of Vermont’s mission to… foster a poetic environment where the love of poetry honors the past and encourages creative partnerships.
