Martin Pickard is one of the co-founders of Poets with Parkinson’s and has hosted their open mic events since 2021. He finds poetry a helpful therapy and a tool for advocacy on behalf of the Parkinson’s community. After a 50 year successful career in the facilities management industry Martin experienced a creative surge following the onset of Parkinson's in his mid 60’s and now performs at poetry events as a "shaken word artist." Martin lives in a Bedfordshire village with his wife and cocker spaniel.
Martin's first poetry collection The Shaken Word was published in 2024 on his 70th birthday
