And so you have spoken; lots of you gave permission, one or two said no; a number, sadly, didn't respond. Just as importantly, lots of new suggestions were made and sifted through. Here, then, is the final list; remember that if there are additional poems on here that you haven't given permission for, you need to mail Sarah again to give the go-ahead for these extra pieces.

Assuming that there are no further objections, or that none of the missing poets from the original list get in touch now (it's still not too late), the contents of the anthology will be:
