Of Poets & Poetry
The September/October issue of FSPA’s Of Poets & Poetry features the English poet Ros Barber being interviewed by OPAP Co-Editor Al Rocheleau. We have all the info for our 2024 Fall Conference to be held in Palatka, including elections. We also feature an article by Sonja Jean Craig on Phillip Morin Freneau. Carl Johnson talks about Postcard Poetry, Shutta Crum explores hybrid poetry, and, as always, we have chapter news and much, much more.

About us
FSPA is a nonprofit, tax-exempt (501-C-3) organization founded in October of 1974 and chartered by the State of Florida in July 1979. Our goal is to provide opportunities for writing, reading, enjoying, and learning about the art of poetry. FSPA chapters meet throughout the state for poetry readings, workshops, and events. We host two annual conventions each year and provide several contest opportunities. Through our social media accounts, we strive to connect our members with one another and also with the vibrant, worldwide community of poets.
