Product Description

Review
"In a series of chapters built around poems by a number of writers including himself . . . [Hughes] explores, colourfully and intensively, themes such as 'Capturing Animals, ' 'Wind and Weather, ' and 'Writing about People.' The purpose throughout is to lead on, via a discussion of the poems (which he does with riveting skill), to some direct encouragement to the [students] to think and write for themselves. He makes the whole venture seem enjoyable, and somehow urgent."--"The Times Literary Supplement"

5.0 out of 5 stars truly helpful, 6 April 2009
By Mrs. Kathleen Ashton "kate9580" (Cheshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading this book I sat down and wrote one of the best poems I have ever written, which has just won an award. This book is well worth a read whether a child or adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ted Hughes- poetry in the making, 12 May 2009
By Lesley Norman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an inspiring book for both children and adults. As an adult just starting to write poetry and short stories I found it second to none. Ted Hughes clearly thinks everyone can learn to write well. I found it original and articulate, refreshingly different to the many 'You can do it' books which flood the market today. I highly recommend it.
