Meet the members: Martin Locock

I joined the group in 2011 when I started work at University of Wales Trinity Saint David.  I have been writing poems for years but find the chance to discuss the craft in detail has made a huge difference to my writing style.

My favourite poetic form is the haiku and my favourite poet is Philip Larkin.

I moved to Wales in 1991 and live near Ammanford.  I run Carreg Ffylfan Press which has published the Poetry from Strata Florida anthology as well as my own collections, Carefully Chosen Words, Travels with a Notebook, and Removals.

I have done some research on reflective practice and run workshops for PSMW Academi Wales, and have enjoyed being poet in residence at the Wales Public Service Summer School.
 

Meet the members: Kathy Miles

I've been involved with the group from the beginning. I was born in Liverpool, and now work as Outreach Services

Librarian at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David. I write poetry, short stories and monologues, and have published three books: The Rocking Stone (Poetry Wales Press), The Third Day: Landscape and the Word (Gomer) and The Shadow House (Cinnamon Press). My work has also appeared in numerous poetry magazines and anthologies. The workshop has given me the opportunity to develop my writing and provides valuable feedback from experienced members of the group, many of whom are also published writers.
