Six poets from West Coker will boldly cross the border into East Coker to present their poetry. \;Led by Stella Davis and two other published poets\, this should be a great showcase for local poetry in South Somerset. \;
We hope to read as many of the entries as possible \;in the 2010 competition and announce the winner. \; The \;subject this year was 'East Coker'. \;
