Teaching Caribbean Poetry will inform and inspire readers with a
love for, and understanding of, the dynamic world of Caribbean
poetry. This unique volume sets out to enable secondary English
teachers and their students to engage with a wide range of poetry,
past and present; to understand how histories of the Caribbean
underpin the poetry and relate to its interpretation; and to
explore how Caribbean poetry connects with environmental issues.
Written by literary experts with extensive classroom experience,
this lively and accessible book is immersed in classroom practice,
and examines: * popular aspects of Caribbean poetry, such as
performance poetry; * different forms of Caribbean language; * the
relationship between music and poetry; * new voices, as well as
well-known and distinguished poets, including John Agard (winner of
the Queen's Medal for Poetry, 2012), Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna
Goodison, Olive Senior and Derek Walcott; * the crucial themes
within Caribbean poetry such as inequality, injustice, racism,
'othering', hybridity, diaspora and migration; * the place of
Caribbean poetry on the GCSE/CSEC and CAPE syllabi, covering
appropriate themes, poetic forms and poets for exam purposes.
Throughout this absorbing book, the authors aim to combat the
widespread 'fear' of teaching poetry, enabling teachers to teach it
with confidence and enthusiasm and helping students to experience
the rewards of listening to, reading, interpreting, performing and
writing Caribbean poetry.
"Opening the Nursery Door" is a fascinating collection of essays
inspired by the discovery of a tiny archive: the nursery library of
Jane Johnson 1707-1759, wife of a Lincolnshire vicar. It has
captured the scholarly interest of social anthropologists,
historians, literary scholars, educationalists and archivists as it
has opened up a range of questions about the nature of childhood
within English cultural life over three centuries: the texts
written and read to children, the multifarious ways childhood has
been considered, shaped and schooled through literacy practices,
and the hitherto ignored role of women educators in early childhood
across all classes.

Children's picturebooks are the very first book we encounter and
play a major role in introducing us to both art and language. But
what does it take to create a successful picturebook for children?
Children's Picturebooks, Second Edition is the revised edition of a
bestselling title that carries invaluable insight into a highly
productive, dynamic sector of the publishing world. Featuring
interviews with leading illustrators and publishers from across the
world, it remains essential reading for students and aspiring
children's book illustrators and writers. Aimed at arts and
literature students as well as aspiring children's book
illustrators and writers. This book covers everything from the
change in children's picturebooks over time to a breakdown of the
children's publishing industry including, the editorial process,
approaching publishers and literary agents and the printing
process. With 15 new case studies from well-known illustrators like
Jon Klassen, Oliver Jeffers and Beatrice Alemagna and publishers
such as Puffin Picture Books, Thames and Hudson and Enchanted Lion
Books, this revised edition also includes a brand new chapter
devoted to non-fiction, especially the rise of both narrative
non-fiction and big books.
From John Bunyan's 'country rhimes' to rude chants about Manchester
United, from Ted Hughes to Edward Lear, and from William Blake to
the Taylor sisters, Morag Styles covers three hundred years of
poetry with infectious enthusiasm and a keen critical eye. In this
scholarly and fascinating book, she provides an informative account
of the history of poetry written for children in Britain and
America in the last three centuries. She analyses the major poets,
genres and developments over this period, and traces the
continuities between the past and the present. Styles asks
fundamental questions which have often been left unanswered: What
do we mean by children's poetry? Why did such a seemingly small
number of women write poetry for children until recently? The
author subscribes to the widest possible definition of poetry, and
so the reader will find in this book hymns, songs, playground
rhymes, raps and verse - whether trivial or profound. From the
Garden to the Street will provoke, inform and entertain academics
of children's literature, those who teach it in the classroom, and
all of us who still take pleasure in the poetry of childhood.
