FLORIDA STATE POETS ASSSOCIATION (FSPA)
Help spread the word about the Ancient City Poets. We are the local St. Johns County chapter of the Florida State Poets Association (FSPA). These gatherings qualify as the monthly chapter meeting. The monthly readings are open to all. You do not have to be a member to share at the podium. Ancient City Poets is a community of poets and poetry lovers who have gathered in the Nation’s Oldest City, on the last Sunday of the month, since August 2009. Filling out the membership form and paying the small annual fee is a great way to support the F.S.P.A and tap into a huge network of poets in Florida, and beyond!
