To celebrate National Poetry Day I decided to read some poetry. I don’t often read poetry, but I thought that I would give it a go. I enjoyed reading the poems. These books were well set out with a section about the poet themselves, a poem that they had written, the poet’s inspiration and a poem of their choice. I read the books in one sitting, but you could easily spend more time on them.
