Mad Poets Society, founded in 1987, has grown from humble roots and a handful of poets at Media Borough Hall in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, to over 100 members in six states.  It is an organization of poets and writers who have joined together for camaraderie and critique with heart, to celebrate the creative soul and to promote the literary arts.

Among our goals is the desire to bring poetry and the appreciation of the spoken word to surrounding communities and to foster a supportive, nurturing atmosphere to promote individual growth.  We provide an outlet for artistic energy and interests other than the workday world and offer opportunities and forums for new poets to express themselves in an encouraging atmosphere. 

We come from all walks of life. Our members are teachers, brick-layers, lawyers, construction workers, secretaries, accountants -- everyone with a common link: the love of words.
