The competition judges said of Heston students’ poems: “Whilst skillfully conveying their opinions through poetry, the writers have simultaneously managed to give poetry a breath of fresh air, brought it to life and made it relevant to them.”


Mr O’Keefe, an English teacher at Heston who organises creative writing clubs, said:
“I’m delighted that so many Heston students are featured in this collection … but not surprised as these young writers have produced some outstanding and thought provoking work throughout the year.”
