MEMBERSHIP QUALIFICATIONS

There are two membership qualifications for PGS candidates. You must score at or above the 99.5 percentile on any of the tests listed below (some of the scores have been adjusted based on psychometric norms; GRE and SAT Verbal Sections).

In addition, your poetry must, at some point in the past, have been published for public consumption. This would include anything from a newspaper to a book of poems to a high school poetry magazine. In some cases, PGS will review the work of candidates who have not yet been published and consider their poetry for publication in Apotheosis. If such an allowance is made, it will meet this membership requirement.

Applying for membership in Poetic Genius Society is easy. Please follow these steps carefully:

1. Fill out the online application

2. Prepare your scores and published poetry for mailing

3. Mail the documentation when your application is approved by our membership officer. A mailing address will be provided for you at that time.
