For reading at storytime at the end of the school day. I occasionally get a child wanting a book of mine at the end of a school day and a parent will say "No darling, let’s get you a proper book." He has two recent poetry books out, A Ticket For Kalamazoo (illustrated by Neal Layton, published by Otter-Barry Books) and The Beasts Beneath our Feet (illustrated by Alisa Kosareva, published by Little Tiger Press). I know that children love reading a poetry book from cover to cover. Children respond to its brevity, its playfulness, its music and magic, its rhymes and repetitions, its inherent creativity, its humour and its way of representing the world anew. Fact: Poetry is a gift for many primary school teachers. The Centre for Literacy in Primary Education in south London also tirelessly promotes children’s poetry, as does the Manchester Poetry Library and National Poetry Day, which I’m an ambassador of. I visit schools because I love writing and I want to encourage children with their own. Clearly, our busiest times of the year are around National Poetry Day in early October and Book Day in early March. In the main, poets will probably sell more books in schools and at festival events than any other time. They regularly informed me then that poetry was "scary", "difficult" and "not relevant". Twenty years ago, despite the enthusiasm for getting poets in, I found that a great many teachers seemed to do very little poetry in the classroom themselves so the likes of me were coming in to tick the poetry box.
