Poetry Society of Tennessee - West Tennessee Chapter
PST was founded in Memphis in 1953. Prior to 2010, Memphis was the only state chapter. In 2019, PST-West Tennessee was formed to include local activities and to distinguish the state society functions (PST) from the local chapter activities (PST-West Tennessee). PST-West Tennessee is inclusive of areas in and outside Memphis. Current and past officers are listed here.
In 2021/2022 we will be alternating in-person meetings with online readings; locations for in-person meetings will change as we arrange different workshops and readings around town. Our schedule will be posted here and emailed to members.
