The Columbine Poets of Colorado is a non-profit state-level poetry association in the U.S. state of Colorado, affiliated with the National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NFSPS). The organization promotes poetry, conducts monthly and annual contests, issues poetry publications and organizes periodic workshops and festivals.
Columbine Poets was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit on May 11, 1978.[1] The organization was first based in Ft. Collins, but later it moved to Denver when the Foothills Poets from the Foothills Art Center in Golden became the core membership. Membership currently runs between 90 and 100 members across the state of Colorado with two affiliate chapters: the Foothills Chapter, based in Denver, and the Shavano Chapter, based in Salida.[2]
