The Society is a network of local poets, set up by Eleni Cay in 2019. The vision is to support poets from the Rogaland region through poetry workshops, readings, walks and other activities.
We write poems in English and Norwegian. This site is in English only.
In 2020, we used to meet once a month in the Bokkafeen Rennebergstien 24, 4021 Stavanger. Between 2021-2022, Eleni led a group of young poets at the Stavanger Main Library. Join us if you would like to share your poem, refine your poems or just listen to others’ poetry.
Why Poetry Matters
To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.
Robert Graves
Hope is the thing with feathers.
Emily Dickinson
Poetry is emotion put into measure. The emotion must come by nature, but the measure can be acquired by art.
Thomas Hardy
