Poetry has had a hard time in schools in recent years, subjected to analysis, synthesis, interpretation and dissection and all in the services of literacy. With this book Gervase exuberantly, vividly and with great practicality reveals his philosophy of work and pleasure going hand in hand. He emphasises enthusiasm with joy, delight, wonder and fun permeating everything in developing both skills and knowledge. This book is a life-line: grasp it!
