[some contemporary poems, incase anyone is interested

"... In 2016 Staffordshire County Council's Libraries & Arts Service
took the decision to develop the Staffordshire Poetry
Collection. Our aim has been to create a picture of the county
in words, to capture its diversity and in so doing help to create
a cultural identity and awareness for the county as a whole.
We have of course a rich heritage of poetry going back
centuries, but we wished to create a feeling of life in
Staffordshire as it is today. The poems in the collection are
therefore contemporary and as varied in form and tone and
content as the county itself. ..."
