Five friends recently entered a poetry writing competition. Each chose a different title for his or her piece and took a different length of time to compose it. Can you discover the full name of each poet, the title of his or her work and the amount of time he or she spent on its construction?
1. Mandy took two hours longer over her piece of work than the author of 'Gentle Lady', who spent longer writing a poem than the person surnamed Chester.
2. 'Mark of Cain' (coincidentally written by the man named Mark) took less time to write than Miss Holford's piece, which isn't entitled 'Garden of Desire'.
3. George wrote 'Capital Charisma' and the poet surnamed Willis penned a futuristic poem entitled 'Final Frontiers' which, incidentally, won first prize in the competition.
4. The poet surnamed Jork took an hour longer to write an entry than Mrs Clayton spent at her creation.
