POETS are being sought to represent the area in the best of British poetry book.

Editor Peter Quinn said: "The National Poetry Anthology is designed to encourage new writers. We picked 200 town winners last year, but we want the new edition to include a winner from every town and village in the circulation of the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"So far we haven't had enough entries to achieve that."

To enter, send three unpublished poems on any subject up to 20 lines long to United Press Ltd, 1 Yorke Street, Burnley, BB11 1HD by July 31.
