About us

Who we are

The Poetry Society of the Finger Lakes is a collective or authors, poets, and writers from across the Finger Lakes of New York. Together, we make up the Board of Directors, but as an organization we are made up of you. 

 

We exist to bolster poetry and poets in and around the Finger Lakes of New York. Including but not limited to, Tompkins, Cortland, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, Yates and Ontario Counties.

Our team

Oliver Rose

Oliver, 29, they/them, is a poet and performer based in the Finger Lakes of New York. They recently transplanted from Binghamton up to Cortlandville and find themselves frequently in Ithaca and Syracuse taking in the poetry scene. When not writing or working on carpentry, you'll find them spending time with their dog Bailey and lovely Spouse. 

You could be here!

In its earliest stages of inception, the Finger Lakes Poetry Society is looking for a Board of Directors. This Board is going to be a diverse group of writers from all areas of the Finger Lakes and all walks of life. If you're interested in volunteering your time and effort to bolstering poetry and poets in the Finger Lakes, please reach out to Oliver.

It is a place apart
