Compiled in the Society's 100th year, this anthology includes a variety of poems that reflect diverse styles and themes by members who reside within Colorado and elsewhere.
The Poetry Society of Colorado has been a gathering space for poets since it was chartered in 1921. At 100 years, it comprises an inclusive, thriving group of creatives dedicated to the poetic arts including written and spoken.
People often first think of the natural beauty when they think of Colorado, mountains, aspens, rivers, and so on. However, the Poetry Society of Colorado Centennial Anthology makes it clear that there is just as much to rave about in the creativity of the people connected with the state. And, like the diversity in the natural beauty of the state, the forms and themes inside span the gamut. Whether the visual patterns of “Voices of Many Women,” the pure dialogue of “The Sunday Discussion Group Considers Hamlet, the calligram of “Lovers,” the loss in “Life, Love and Labels,” or the traditional formal structure of “Surcease,” there is assuredly something inside for everyone. Delight in taking a look and finding out what poems appeal most to you.
