A poet is once again releasing his work to help charity.

Well-versed - Collin Rossini with the diary. (40235-1)

Collin Rossini, of Dovercourt, has written a poem for each month of the Poetry Diary 2005.

Proceeds from the work will go to charities, including Amnesty International.

Mr Rossini said: "There is a healthy amount of political comment on Iraq, so to give the proceeds to Amnesty International seemed the appropriate thing to do."

The poet's next project is a children's story entitled The Talking Trees of Onley, which is inspired by the trees near his riverside cottage.

The diaries will be available soon from schools and bookshops in the area, and from the library Last Updated on Thu 30 December 19104 at 10:0
