Funny, sad, angry, ecstatic ... From first dates and first snogs, fights and splitting up, to finding and losing best mates, these poems are both thoroughly contemporary and timeless, making this an ideal collection for use in KS3 English and PSHE classes as well as for individual reading for children ages 11 and up. Poets include Shakespeare, Andrew Marvell, John Clare, W B Yeats, Brian Patten, Helen Dunmore, Brian Moses, Carole Satyamurti, as well as many other outstanding poets.
Divided into three sections - love, hate, best mates - the arrangement of poems makes fascinating juxtipositions between classic and contemporary poems, demonstrating the universal nature of these emotions.
