About the magazine
The South Dakota State Poetry Society (SDSPS) is a member-based literary organization dedicated to fostering poetry across South Dakota. Founded in 1927, it has served as a sustained advocate for the art form, publishing the annual journal Pasque Petals and supporting poets through readings, workshops, and contests. Its core mission is to create a supportive community for poets at all stages, emphasizing accessibility and regional engagement rather than metropolitan prestige.
Submitting your work
Reading periodOpen now
SDSPS primarily serves its membership; opportunities such as the Pasque Petals journal and contests are often restricted to members. Prospective contributors should first join the society, then carefully review submission guidelines for each call. Work that reflects a connection to South Dakota or the Great Plains, while not mandatory, is frequently appreciated. Poets are encouraged to engage with the society’s events and publications to understand its aesthetic and community values.
