In addition to poets who belong to Missouri State Poetry Society by joining a local chapter of the society, there are poets who have joined the state organization directly as members-at-large. As of January 1, 2013, there were 5 members-at-large.
Members-at-large participate in all four of the annual activities of Missouri State Poetry Society: winter contests, spring anthologies, summer contests, and fall conventions.
They receive the state newsletter, Spare Mule, and may be published in it as well as in the state anthology, GRIST. They belong to the National Federation of State Poetry Societies by joining MSPS as members-at-large and receive the national newsletter, Strophes. They qualify for reduced rates on the MSPS state contests and also the NFSPS national contests.
CONTACT PERSON: Those interested in joining Missouri State Poetry Society as members-at-large are encouraged to complete applications for membership (See Membership Application on the home page's menu). Questions may be directed to
