Poetic Genius Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Poetic Genius Society (PGS) is an high IQ society, which is composed of intellectually gifted individuals with a passion for poetry. The Poetic Genius Society was founded by Dr. Greg Grove shortly after he disbanded Collegium. The Journal, still called Apotheosis, includes poetry from its members. The total members of this society is 174.

[edit] Membership Qualification
There are two membership qualifications for PGS candidates. The first requirement is a 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, any applicant's 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.
