Former Lancashire Telegraph reporter Theresa Robson and Jo Harding, owner of Clitheroe Books, Moor Lane, Clitheroe, are producing the book in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Pendleside Hospice, Reedley.

It is being published in March in memory of former Clitheroe Advertiser editor Leigh Morrissey, who died of motor neurone disease in March 2005.

Original poems of 40 lines or under, as well as inspiring photographs or artwork, are sought. Up to three items may be submitted for a £5 fee.

Poems should be typed on one side of A4 with your name on the back, and sent with covering letter to Leigh Morrissey Poetry Anthology, Clitheroe Books, 29 Moor Lane, Clitheroe, Lancashire, BB7 1BE, by December 31.

Images should be submitted as hard copy or on disc, also with covering letter. Theresa and Jo are pictured at Clitheroe Books.
