Hi all

There is a Liverpool 800 Poems site which is looking for 800 poems to celebrate the city's 800th birthday. They are an eighth of the way there with 100 poems so far posted and I have had eleven poems accepted. New York poet George Wallace, Clare Kirwan and Roger Cliffe-Thompson are among the name poets who have also contributed.

Do you like the Beatles or have you been to Liverpool, want to write something about its history, or even just fantasize about it?

The Liverpool 800 poems site is at  [link=http://www.poem800.com/]http://www.poem800.com/[/link]  -- go the poems page, picture of the Liver Building. The coloured squares have poems that have been accepted, the white squares are available for you to add a poem. Good luck.

One month to go to get 800 poems by August 28, the city's 800th birthday, and the organizers, Billy Moon and Roger Cliffe-Thompson say, "We have 318 poems collected so far, only 482 to go!"

See also the below article that appeared in the Liverpool Echo last Friday -- some of the good publicity they have been receiving for the project.
