John L, Reviewer
In a very child-friendly narrative, two kids gather in a park and make up concrete poems, both together and apart. By the end of the simple story the reader will have had all the basics they need, and met with easy instruction to do the same. It's a great primer for the young poet, with technical terms in bold ready for the end glossary, and it certainly isn't the typical thing, I would have thought, to have got the young child interested in what was after all a '60s, post-modern style of creation. Still, smarter word processing must make it easier these days to print your own. It's a shame that of the three Internet resources listed, two don't seem to exist any more, but the book is pretty much all you need.
