Places of Poetry

Has anyone else come across Places of Poetry?

“Places of Poetry is open to all readers and writers. It aims to use creative writing to prompt reflection on national and cultural identities in England and Wales, celebrating the diversity, heritage and personalities of place.

“The site is open for writers to pin their poems to places from 31st May to 4 October 2019. It will then be closed for new poems but will remain available for readers. We welcome writers of all ages and backgrounds. We want to gather as many perspectives on the places and histories of England and Wales.”

Poems have to be about precise p,aces, and are pinned on a map.

Poems can be in English or Welsh. The site has instructions in Welsh. But all the poems I’ve seen about places in Wales are in English.
