I know nothing more about this project than the following text, but I shall endeavor mightily to get M.A. Griffith's "Fer Blossom" into it.

Call for submissions: Yorkshire poetry anthology (deadline: 31st May)
In October 2016, Yorkshire-based Valley Press will publish an anthology of poetry which aims to document and celebrate our multi-faceted home county. We are now searching for great poems to feature in the book, from writers based anywhere in the world. Poems can be on any subject or topic – a place, an incident, a person, an idea – with only one rule: there must be some connection with the county of Yorkshire. (If in any doubt as to where Yorkshire begins and ends, consult
this helpful map.)
Contributing poets will each receive a copy of the finished book, and a share of £900 in prize money/fees. We are considering poems which have been published before, but the author must be able to grant Valley Press non-exclusive rights to reproduce them in this anthology (if in doubt, consult your previous publisher).
The anthology will be edited by York-based poet Miles Salter, and submissions (maximum three poems per author) should be sent to
milesinyork@hotmail.com, with the subject line 'Yorkshire Poetry Anthology', by 5pm on May 31st. The featured poets will be announced by September 1st, and the book is expected to be launched on National Poetry Day (Thursday 6th October).
Funding for this project has been generously provided by Arts Council England. We look forward to seeing your poems – best of luck!
