Synopsis

Children often come to poetry with somewhat negative preconceptions. Encouraging them to write poems, and read those written by their peers, brings poetry to life and demonstrates its value as a powerful means of expression. Having their work published in a book alongside that of their peers in the region provides young people with a sense of achievement and gives them greater confidence in their creative writing ability. Young Writers have been running their annual regional poetry competition in conjunction with schools for twelve years, to encourage the reading and writing of poetry of young people. The books produced represent a generation of voices having their say on a wide range of themes from home and school, to the environment and politics.
