Welcome
Hello and welcome to this special Books for Keeps poetry supplement, published to coincide with National Poetry Day but, we hope, something that will be useful for much longer than that.
It is full of recommendations of children’s poetry to discover, plus some very special advice on ways to encourage poetry reading and writing amongst children – and probably adults too. A special thank you to all those who have contributed, and we also want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the following poets, so active in schools and libraries, who do so much every day to inspire a love of poetry.
