Not yet a member of the Poetry Society of America? We'd love for you to join, and we're thrilled to include two new membership benefits at our basic level. Join at the $45 dollar level ($25 for students with a valid ID), and you'll receive a 20% discounted subscription to one of five major literary journals (A Public Space, Gulf Coast, jubilat, Times Literary Supplement, or Tin House), and access to a members-only quarterly newsletter from Executive Director Alice Quinn. These are in addition to the PSA Annual Awards entry fee waiver and the PSA "Poetry, I too, like it" lapel pin, our standard benefit items.
