Poetry has developed to a great level over the years. Various institutions and individuals have done so much in developing poetry in this state. Poets in New Mexico have been developing what has been done by poets who preceded them all in the spirit of taking poetry to another level. The most notable in promoting poetry are the New Mexico Poetry Society and the Poetry Loud campaign which is a national movement organized by high school teachers for high school students.
the state society of poetry was founded by Alice Briley in the 1960s and has been very active in nurturing poets since then. It strongly supports the cultural welfare of different groups of people. This support is depicted in all their works. It not only engages in engages in literary but also educational activities. Their disregard for taking sides makes them to also disregard harsh religious, social and political view points. Members are, therefore, banned from participating in political, social and religious campaigns on behalf of the group.

This society has given birth to several poets. These poets include; Joe Shaffer, Jim Applegate, Ann Applegarth, Lynn Baldwin and Jeanette Oestermeyer, among several other established poets. This association has been operational since it was founded in the 60s. In recent days, there has been established a formidable coordination between this group and the Eastern University of this state. The collaboration has fostered the organization of student contests. These contests receive many participants and fans.
The RGV poets are a branch of this society that specializes in nurturing young poets. This group collaborates with the University of Mexico. The group presents lectures and poetic guidance to poets. The knowledge gained from this group of poets is later imparted in students who are admitted into poetry classes by the university. The RGV also gives scholarships to students from needy families.
Poetry loud is another group composed of mainly teachers whose core function is organizing recitation competition. They normally prizes at both national and state levels. The group does this in all the states in the country. The main prizes are 200 dollars for the winner and 200 dollars for the second-placed. They also cater for all the transportation costs for the main winner. They also offer some money for the refurbishing of school libraries for both the first-place and second-place winners. National competitions carry about ten times the amount of prize given at the state level.
Among the most influential poets are Dana Levin, Pata Mora and D. H Lawrence who migrated from Britain. Their poems were well received by their readers in this state and the other parts of the world. These are among the first professional poets in this state.
These poets addressed varied themes as dictated by the issues during their times. Among the topics they discussed included the negative effects of industrialization, the French and American Revolutions, effects of modernization and love among others. They were very well received by their readers.
