We are pleased to announce that the highly anticipated National Poetry Competition Anthology is now available for purchase.
The anthology is called ‘The Green Book of Poetry’ and contains a selection of the winning poems and illustrations from the SCEMES 2007 National Poetry Competition on the theme of The Environment.
‘The Green Book of Poetry’ is a testament to the talents of all the pupils who entered the competition and offers a refreshing an insightful view of the world we live in today.
We would like to thank all the contributors for their excellent poetry and wonderful illustrations. Their sincere and often surprising response to the theme of The Environment helps us to look afresh at an issue that affects us all.
‘The Green Book of Poetry’ is a fantastic resource for teachers, who can use the published poems as a starting point for teaching on environmental topics, and a ‘must-have’ for every school library.

All profits from the sale of the anthology go to the charity Plan, one of the largest child-centred community development organisations in the world.
“[The Green Book of Poetry] contains a wealth of insightful and affecting writing that shows young people really understand the complexity and urgency of environmental issues far more than we sometimes give them credit for.”
Phil Woolas MP, Minister of State for the Environment
