I had fun juggling metaphors for wonderful Red Room Company’s Poetry Object 2019, which also includes poems by Claire G Coleman, Arielle Cottingham, Pola Fanous, Eleanor Jackson, Benjamin Laird, Jacqui Malins and Zech Soakai.
You can read my poem ‘You’re’ (thanks to Ben Dodds and Carlo for illuminations) and register your school for Poetry Object, which invites students (Years 3-10) and their teachers to create poems inspired by treasured, curious or talismanic objects, here.
