Hello Everyone!!!“Village Voices a celebration of poetry and art from the South Pennines”
The closing date for submissions has passed. We have accepted an astounding 106 poems and over 50 illustrations. This is a richly diverse book with a huge range of subjects covered in the poems. Illustrations are of a very high standard.
This is a tremendous success, thank you to everyone who submitted. Appreciation of both poetry and art is very personal and subjective so the wide variety achieved in “Village Voices” will fill your soul with inspiration, enjoyment, and a connection with the local community.
We will announce the publish date as soon as known.
