If Philosophy is the Why?

And Science is the How?

Then Poetry is the Wow!

In this stunning, brand-new volume, you'll discover poems about poems, poems about life, poems about kangaroos and chameleons and caterpillars (though not in the same verse) and many more. This touching and thought-provoking collection will make you laugh, cry, or simply say 'Wow!'

He has been captivating children and adults alike with his unique blend of compassion and wit for more than three decades and with more than thirty books. He is an international ambassador for poetry and was awarded an OBE for his work in 1997, and a CBE in 2005. In 2001 he was honoured with the freedom of the city of Liverpool.
