Special Fields
 DescriptionPeter Bland’s collected poems for children are a major addition to a poetic presence spanning over sixty years. He began writing these poems for his own children in the 1950s, and has continued ever since … “Beguiled,” he says, “by the physicality of the childhood imagination, a sense of performance, and a love for the spoken word.” ReviewsFrom previous reviews: Childhood delights that range from surrealist jaunts in dream landscapes to visually precise vignettes of the natural world. — NZ Review of Books His poems have a quirky range of simple rhymes, fantasy, narrative, and nonsense that kids love to learn and repeat. — Sunday Herald Poems to amuse, poems to have fun with, and poems that will make you think. — NZ Listener |
