Come see the poets

pelting the world with words,

which tend to just bounce off.

Just Poets is a poetry-centered non-profit organization based in Rochester, NY. Our goal is to celebrate both poets and poetry by encouraging and supporting area poets at all levels of ability to improve their work and find their individual poetic voices. We seek to do this through workshops, publications, readings and networking within the literary community.

Just Poets also seeks, as part of its mission, to increase the public's awareness and appreciation of poetry through readings, a speakers bureau, written articles and other educational avenues.

Meetings are usually the first Saturday of every month, except for July (no meeting) and September (meeting will be on the second Saturday due to Labor Day). For meeting locations, check this site or contact us at justpoets@yahoo.com.

Visitors are welcome to attend up to three (3) meetings without joining and may receive one (1) complimentary copy of Poet Talk, the Just Poets monthly newsletter.

Le Mot Juste, the annual Just Poets anthology, is published in the spring. Only members in good standing are eligible to submit work for consideration. Members may read the call for submission on our Members Only page. To purchase a copy of Le Mot Juste 2005 or Le Mot Juste 2006, contact us at justpoets@yahoo.com.
