Welcome to the Poetry ID Wiki, brought to you by the good folks at Wetpaint

Poetry ID is the Letchworth Garden City stanza of The Poetry Society (UK). We meet every Thursday at The Settlement in Nevells Road, Letchworth. Each week we usually run a writing workshop followed by a readaround. We also organise readings and have several publications under our own imprint. Most of our members have been published, to a lesser or greater degree, but we are a very welcoming group and we are always looking to attract new members who feel they might benefit from our workshops and constructive criticism.

We have our own website at www.poetry-id.co.uk, which has been established for several years, and you can see more details about the group there.

The idea of this wiki is to allow members to create and edit their own pages, allowing the poems to remain as up-to-date as possible, and also to allow others the chance to read and comment on our work.

Stop Press. 'Renshi', a CD of members of Poetry ID reading their own work is now available for the princely sum of £5 (not a lot). The proceeds of sales will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Email Phil Ilsley on
p_ils AT yahoo.co.uk for more details. (Note: the @ symbol has been substituted by AT to prevent unauthorised people scanning the web for email addresses).

For up-to-date information of forthcoming events, go to our PID Events page.

Some late News. Poetry ID Member Yuko Minamikawa Adams will be performing at the Derwent Poetry Festival during the weekend of the 20th - 22nd November.

Yuko has been shortlisted in the Templar Poetry Collection Competition and has been asked to read at the event which will take place in the Arkwright Suite at Masson Mills, Matlock Bath, Derbyshire.

Congratulations to Yuko on her achievement.
