Meet the League of Minnesota Poets

Join Fair Trade Books and The League of MN Poets for a reading from the poets featured in Agates 2025
Established in 1934, League of Minnesota Poets’ mission is “to make Minnesota poetry conscious, and conscious to its own poets” through four objectives:
-to encourage the study of Minnesota poetry in the state’s schools;
-to create newspaper and magazine outlets for the best work of Minnesota poets;
-to publish periodic collections of verse by members, to publish a League magazine, and to assist in providing a permanent record of accomplishments; and
-to accumulate historical material for a scrapbook, thereby preserving pertinent information about the organization.

The League achieves these goals through sponsorship of various poetry contests and sponsorship and participation in readings, collaborations, retreats, and other events throughout the state. The League highlights our members’ works through the annual publication of Agates and other works, both digital and print, Our events and publications are documented and collected in a lasting body of historical data stored at the history center in St Paul, MN. We hold biannual state meetings for our members in the spring and fall and annually send delegates to the National Federation of State Poetry Societies’ convention.
