The Buckinghamshire Centre of the Poetry Society meets on May 1 ith, at 3 p.m.j for a reading of “Members own choice of poems or members’ own verse”, at Hornhill Court, Chalfont St. Peters; on June 8th a play will be read at Hedgerows, Penn; on July 13ti!

The Miami Florida Chapter of the Poetry Society is a very new baby, having been born this season, and is progressing beautifully. Marie Tello Phillips, President General in America, has sponsored this organization and is an able adviser. The president, Grace Porteríield Polk, composer, singer, poet, is hostess for the meetings in her home, Harmonia-on- Biscayne Bay, which is a centre of culture in Miami. The officers include Ethel Koger, Polly McKibben, Mabel Davis, Margurite Gibson, Effie Marshall, Pearl SafTord. The members are also members of the National League of American Penwomen (Pearl Safford, State President). It is a poetry workshop in which our poems are read and severely criticised. The contest for March is the Sonnet. The April contest will be the Lyric. Five dollars is the prize. The speaker for March was Rita Lowns- berry, concert pianist and poet, who gave a most interesting talk on Emily Dickinson with poems to illustrate the talk. Marie Tello Phillips led the discussion. The April meeting was devoted to American poets, and the anniversary of William Shakespeare was observed by a talk on his plays and poetry. We wish to express our desire to be a pride to this fine organization and we appreciate the opportunity of friendship between Great Britain and America. In renewing my subscription to the Poetry Society for 1946, I should like to express my appreciation of the dauntless way in which The Poetry Review continued to appear throughout all war-time difficulties, offering such rich treasure for so modest a sum. But may we hope that from now on its appearance will be as truly rhythmical as the lineš the Prémium Editor would háve us write?—Janet Urquhart, N.W.3.
