Biography
The Association of Cambridge Poetry Societies arose from the discontinuation of the Cambridge Poetry Society, some of whose members joined the new organisation, although there is no clear date marking the end of one organisation and the beginning of the other.

The Association continued until 1986, and its officers included David Armitage and John Wells.
