The Society of Classical Poets website receives millions of views every year. Visitors read engaging, beautiful, topical verse that enlivens Western Civilization’s great conversation. That conversation continues in Journal VIII (drawn from poetry published on our website between February 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020). It’s a conversation we hope you will join. The Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, based in Mount Hope, New York, dedicated to the continuation of Beauty, Goodness, Truth, and excellent poetry.

    I have ordered Journal VIII and can hardly wait to receive and read the talented poets within. I appreciate everything The Society stands for and I am honored to be a member and even more honored to have my words recognized in the pages of this book.

    Thank you to Evan and everyone here for their support, appreciation, encouragement and inspiration. You have taken my writing to new levels.

    Perhaps you could consider posting the journal to orders from Australia.

      Dear John Weerden,

      According to Amazon Australia, you should in theory be able to buy it there: https://www.amazon.com.au/Society-Classical-Poets-Journal-VIII/dp/1949398331/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Evan+Mantyk&qid=1593043391&sr=8-5

      Let me know if it works.
      Regards,
      Evan Mantyk

        Hello Evan and John
        Thank you John, for asking such a timely question. The last time I checked it was not available through Amazon Australia – so instead of retreating into my den, grumbling, I was delighted to see your question and Evan’s answer. I have just ordered my copy. Thank you, my serendipitous friends.
