The quintet which formed the Poetry Society of Jamaica sketched out their plan on the walkway behind the upper tier of the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts' amphitheatre in 1989. Tonight, for the first time in the Society's 22-year history, they will gather as a unit in the performance space to be recognised for their pioneering role.
Two of them, Malachi Smith and Tomlin Ellis, read at the Talking Trees Literary Fiesta in Treasure Beach, St Elizabeth, on Saturday.
