Synopsis of the program:
CHS Greece and CHS US in cooperation with the Michael Marks Charitable Trust, a UK based foundation, created the "Michael Marks Poets in Residence program" in 2009. Since then, UK poets who win the "Michael Marks Award for Poetry Pamphlets" in London and Edinburgh (a.k.a. the Callum MacDonald Award) have been participating in the program. As resident poets, they spend two weeks between historic Nafplio, Olympia, Delphi, and Athens, participating in local cultural activities, poetry symposia, meetings with Greek poets, visits in important Greek sites, while interacting with various participants of other CHS Greece programs. The two awarded poets participating in 2017's program are Richard Scott and Hugh MacMillan.
