Strophes is the national society's official
newsletter. It is published quarterly with national news but also with state
societies' news. It announces numerous contests and lists the national board
members and state presidents. The summer issue provides names of judges and
winners for the national contests. Annual conventions are conducted for
business, instruction, and fellowship. Poets who attend share poetry, ideas, and
inspiration, which they carry home to their local organizations. The Federation
Library Collection is housed at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. In addition to
the Encores (prize poem anthologies which contain winners of the national poetry
contests), the collection includes books and materials provided by organizations
and individuals.
