THE best poems submitted by Darlington pupils in a national competition have been published in a book.
The Poetry Odyssey competition attracted more than 50,000 entries nationally.
Judges sifted through the entries from Darlington and selected the top five. The winners have now been published in a book called 2001: A Poetry Odyssey Darlington.
Danielle Hossell from Carmel RC Technology College won £20 for submitting the best entry.
The four runners up were given £5 book tokens. They were: Saskia Van Vlijmen from Carmel, and Hurworth Comprehensive School pupils Emily Eeles, Simon Ainslie and Romeela Rana-Rahman.
