An invaluable anthology of children's poetry that gives a unique insight into the writer’s craft.
Just how do poets come up with their ideas? Do their ideas come to them in a flash of inspiration or do they slave away for months or years? Edited by Canadian poet JonArno Lawson, this is an illustrated poetry book with a difference. A selection of verse from top contemporary poets – including Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen, John Agard, Grace Nichols, Roger McGough and many more, including writers from the USA, India, South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – are annotated by the poets themselves, who explain how they arrived at the finished poem.
