Are You Talking to Me?
Illustrated by Karen Pearce
(Pont Books)
978-1859021781, RRP £3.95, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
I already have several favourites because of the words, the styles, the themes, the subjects - and not because I, too, live in Wales. Response was favourable at a nearby school as I'm sure it will be elsewhere in the country. Subjects range from animals, family, famous events, first love, education, how long it takes to write a poem ... and there are the ever relevant themes of time, change, loss, resilience ... by five poets: Mike Jenkins, Penny Windsor, Owen Sheers, Christine Evans and John Tripp. A worthy read for any thinking person.
