On Wednesday evenings the teenage Dylan Thomas met with his friends at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive and now a new initiative called the Poet's Hub is to be launched at the Dylan Thomas Birthplace next month (4th September) which will enable poets from all over the world to connect with each other and also to sell unique handwritten copies of their work

The Poet's Hub ( www.poetshub.com ) is the brainchild of aspiring West Wales poet Robbie Done whose idea is to extend the meeting concept using modern technology to link poets from across the globe using live streams on the internet.

The idea came after he launched Handwritten Poems ( www.handwrittenpoems.co.uk ) a month ago and the Pendine Poet says "We aim to offer as full set of tools for poets in a one stop environment which will evolve to the needs of the poets themselves."

Handwritten Poems is a website where people can buy limited edition or specially commissioned handwritten poems was an idea which came to Mr Done when he saw a sale of paintings in a local coffee shop and the realised "If you can do it for artwork then why not poems?"

The site which was launched a month ago has had an immediate response with over fifty poets having signed up from as far afield as Nigeria and Australia who have posted over 200 poems on the site.

Geoff Haden, the owner of the Birthplace is enthusiastic and says "Every Wednesday evening Dylan and the 'Kardomah boys' used his father's study to bounce ideas around, get honest feedback from one another and develop their skills.

"Now thanks to technology the study will become the central hub of a global network."

Matthew Hughes who is the curator of the Birthplace thinks Dylan would have benefited greatly from both the Poets Hub and the opportunity to sell his work and said "Dylan thrived after meeting like minded people and often created hundreds of drafts of just one poem and when he was struggling financially he frequently sold these to help keep his family afloat financially.”
