New Mexico State Poetry Society

In October charter members met to elect officers and adopt a constitution.

In the same year, the society was designated the official state affiliate by the NFSPS.

The organization was incorporated in Santa Fe as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on December 7, 1976,[1] and currently has five affiliate chapters in the state.

The NMSPS sponsors meetings, events, an annual contest cycle and publication of members' poetry.

The organization supported the efforts that led to establishment of a State Poet Laureate position in 2019.
