Education and Life-Long Learning Services is to
publish poems, other writings and pictures in
two books, and invites you to send yours by

Poems by anyone
of any age, other writings and pictures by
school pupils, on any aspect of the city, from
the new Bull Ring to what's happening in your
street to your particular itch or curiosity of
experience.
This is an
opportunity for young people to consider their
relationship with the environment of their city
and to record their responses in a number of
forms which will create a social and historical
resource for future generations. Schools

produce the books for publication, the resources
will be collected together as part of the
Millennibrum project.
