Georgia Poetry Society

The Georgia Poetry Society was established in Atlanta on August 30, 1979 by Charles J. Bruehler and Edward Davin Vickers.

In 1986 GPS received a supporting grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts, after which members established the Charles Dickson chapbook competition.

The 2010 competition in honor of Ed Vickers led to publication of Under a Hundred poetry book.

[1] The Georgia Poetry Society maintains a cycle of contests and publishes an annual anthology, titled The Reach of Song.

GPS has established quarterly meetings to handle business, announce contest winners and hold poetry readings.
