Following
is a list of poetry books written or edited by the poetryclass team of
poets.
As
a rough guide to help teachers identify suitable material, we have
indicated whether they are written primarily for adults or for children
and/or young people. However, please bear in mind that poems do not come
with age restrictions, and can often be appreciated and understood
'across the board'.
Some
of the poets also list suggested books for working with poetry in the classroom.
