:00:39. > :00:41.which will be showcased at the Olympic Park during The Games.
:00:41. > :00:43.Working with regional poetry organisations that have received
:00:43. > :00:50.National Lottery funding, a nationwide search was launched to
:00:50. > :00:53.find 12 budding poets from all corners of the UK. Each region was
:00:53. > :00:56.also represented by a British athlete, so not only did the
:00:56. > :01:00.winning poets write the poem, they also spent time with athletes to
:01:00. > :01:05.gain first hand inspiration. The successful poets are now known as
:01:05. > :01:11.The 12 Poets of 2012. And following a weekend workshop with poet Jacob
