WELCOME TO THE PGS!

The Poetic Genius Society is composed of intellectually gifted individuals with a passion for poetry. They are the creative artists of our time, whose literary output interprets the heritage of the past and the urgent now.
Founded by Dr. Greg Grove in 1998, our fellowship of poets has been a thriving haven for aspiring artists in the High IQ community. Although our ranks are extremely diverse, we share a common bond in our love for all things poetic.
We would love for you to become a member of our congenial society. What’s in it for you?

• The joy of sharing your poetry with other minds who will appreciate your work

• The prestige of joining an IQ society whose score is at the 99.5 percentile

• Fellowship with peers you can relate to, both intellectually and artistically

• Membership in our members-only Facebook-group.
