Welcome to the New Zealand Poetry Society. 

The New Zealand Poetry Society is an incorporated non-profit organisation which aims to advance education by promoting, developing and supporting poetry and poets in New Zealand. The NZPS - CC20250 - is a registered charitable entity in terms of the Charities Act 2005. For more information about the NZPS, visit the Charities Register at www.charities.govt.nz. Donations over $5 are tax-deductible in New Zealand and greatly appreciated.
