West Kirby poet Chris Lawrence has enjoyed success in a recent competition organised by the United Nations.
Chris submitted an entry to the United Nations competition. During the four week campaign, a social media Poetry for Peace contest invited the world to hear the living testimonies of atomic bomb survivors, called HIBAKUSHA, and respond to their stories in verse. Chris came third out of 712 poets who in total wrote 742 poems and has been invited to attend a winners presentation at the Japanese Embassy. You can read his poem right here.
