The Children’s Bookshow: The Joy of Poetry

Over the last few weeks the team at The Children’s Bookshow have been thinking a lot about the joy of poetry. One of the Directors, Siân Williams, has been pulling poetry collections down from her shelves and revisiting all of the marvellous poets they have worked with over the years, and some with whom they hope to work in the near future.  Throughout November they are focusing on a different poet every week, giving you an overview of their life and work as well as some videos of them reading and performing their poetry.

They’ve announced three poets of the week – John Agard, Michael Rosen and Grace Nichols –  with Kit Wright and Kwame Alexander to follow.

You can see the posts and more videos here!
