County poems sought

Jan 23 2009 by Michael Green, Chester Chronicle

POETS across Cheshire are being asked to send in their poems about the places or the spirit of Cheshire and the best will be published in a new book out in March.

Cheshire Poet Laureate W Terry Fox wants to update a 70-year-old book titled Homage to Cheshire which contains the work of local poet Hedley Lucas.

His poems concentrated on a variety of subjects including Cheshire archers, brass bands, Cheshire cheese, chemical workers and Mrs Gaskell.

Poets can email their work for the new Homage to Cheshire for 2009 to homagetocheshire@tiscali.co.uk and the closing date is February 2.
