About The Underground Poet's Society, Inc.



The Underground Poet’s Society, Inc. or TheUnPSInc is an official 501(c)3 Non-Profit Poetry Organization founded by Award Winning Poet/Author, Antwian Marcel Crawford, also known as Intellect, that is dedicated to poetry and education. We support poets in all genres of poetry from novice level to professional, from the written word to the spoken word.


The mission of TheUnPSInc is to promote the creation and performance of poetry while cultivating literary activities and spoken word events on-line or otherwise in order to build audience participation, stimulate creativity, awaken minds, foster education, inspire mentoring, encourage artistic statement and engage communities worldwide in the revelry of language.


The Underground Poet's Society was created in July 2000 and has been the longest running number 1 poetry website ever since. The site was created for poets of all levels and genre's to have a place on the web to come together and share their creative ideas with artists of the same interests and talents to support the arts as a whole and to open minds and help others see things from a different point of view. On this site, we love all things poetry. You will find a wide variety of poets from all nationalities which makes us one of the most diverse groups on the world wide web.


We are the home of The Underground Poet's Society, Inc. National Poetry Conference and The Underground Poet's Society, Inc.
