The best poetry takes your mind to unexpected places. But is it the poet’s quirkiness that carries you there, or your own?These poems are too good to be just for children - grown-ups will enjoy reading them aloud to children for their own sake, as well as for the reaction they provoke. Or why not just read them to yourself? They will challenge and stimulate, make you laugh and make you wonder.Come along with us: who’s fastest, you or the wind? Or can you keep up with how fast life runs? What is the symbolism of that chocolate house? Did the poet even know, or is that for the inner child to decide? Ruth Dupre’s marvellous paintings make it a visual feast too.

  • Vincent’s Poets
    Michael Glover
    Vincent Van Gogh was an impassioned reader of poetry. What is more, he loved the exalted idea of poets.

In his new collection, the poet Michael Glover, in a suite of forty poems, not only writ...

  • Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti
    Michael Glover
    Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti, Michael Glover’s first book-length poem, is a reverie by turns casually whimsical, oblique, impassioned, mocking and dismissive. The speaker addresses an absent partner, trawling through their lives together, asking questions that will forever remain unanswerable about places, incidents and people that drift into his consciousness....

    Michael Glover
    There are many more words than you could ever wish to use! I taunt you with those words. I bellow them out into the air within your hearing in order to humiliate you. That is why you avoid me, because I burden you with so many words, heaping them upon your head, or flinging them after you as you hurry away from me, fine, well-turned, latinate, polysyllabic, Miltonic words of th...

  • What Turns Up
    Michael Glover
    Inspiration is an elusive beast. When you go looking for it, it hides. Turn your back, and it can jump out at you. The first poem in this collection was inspired by an image, snapped or staged, of three ordinary folk. It captures a fleeting moment in lives with complicated back stories. Further poems followed, from images real, or in the poet’s mind. In poems of a few lines, Mi...

  • Wingers and Leapers
    Michael Glover
    On holiday in France, during a particularly warm spell, the exotic bugs descend. Many would reach for the citronella candles, or worse - the fly-swat and toxic aerosols to go on a killing spree like some insecticidal maniac. Not so an artist like Ruth Dupré. Instead she recorded their characters, their quirks, their oddities, in ink onto delicate Japanese paper.Coming to these ...
