The Essential Theatre is pleased to announce that the Georgia Poetry Society will be holding a poetry reading July 25th at 7 pm prior to the 8pm performance of Ice Glen by Joan Ackermann. Your ticket for Ice Glen will serve as admission to both events.

The Georgia Poetry Society was founded in 1979 for the purpose of bringing into community poets and poetry lovers in the state of Georgia. If you are passionate about poetry, you’ve found the right place!

We welcome members from anywhere, but our quarterly meetings are held in various locations throughout the state of Georgia. The meetings are packed with poetry related programming, including member readings, featured poets, poetry workshops, and various talks on poetry related topics.

We also sponsor a series of poetry contests and publish an anthology each year.

You’re invited to come as a guest to any of our quarterly meetings, poetry road shows, or local open poetry readings/workshops.

To support our future poetry programming in the state of Georgia and to participate in the contests and anthology, please consider becoming a member.
