PSI ANNUAL EVENTS
PSI Spring Fling Annual Convention
Find out more about Spring Fling here: https://www.poetrysocietyofindiana.org/spring-fling.html
Spring Fling is held annually in late April, and is a one-day conference hosted by PSI. Besides our business meeting, which is always an essential part of the day for PSI members, we offer workshops and presentations to grow your skills as a poet and opportunities to share your own works. Most of all, we offer a supportive artistic and social environment. We also encourage student poets, especially those interested in the annual Manningham Student Poetry Contest, to attend. The conference is open to the public to register and attend.
