What Is Poetry?: The Essential Guide to Reading and Writing Poems by Jill Calder, Michael Rosen
3.0
3/5 stars
A really good starting point for people getting into poetry, and very accessible for children. However I think I'm just a bit too old and have more experience with writing poetry through Uni and my personal life to get everything I need from this one. This makes me want to start a poetry class for children just to get them into writing it independently from what school (especially secondary) classes as 'good poetry' and 'bad poetry'.
