Welcome to the brand new blog for the Children's Poetry Summit!
The Children’s Poetry Summit is a network of individuals and
organisations actively interested in poetry for children. It provides a regular
forum for discussion, information exchange, sharing of ideas and good practice,
and is a pressure group which campaigns for poetry for children and teenagers.
Members are children’s poets, publishers, teachers, booksellers,
librarians, literacy and reading organisations and individuals interested in poetry
for children and teenagers.
Our principal
aims are to:
- exchange
information and ideas, keep up to date with what is currently happening and
generally raise the profile of poetry for children and teenagers
- create opportunities
and campaign on behalf of poetry for children and teenagers through publishing, bookselling, in
schools, via librarians, teacher training colleges and literature
organisations
This blog will be our public face and you can look forward to lots of articles about poetry for children and teenagers, articles about reading, libraries, inspiration and - of course - lots of poems by some of the very finest poets for children.
Watch this space for everything you'd ever need from the dazzling world of poetry for young people!
