Too often the teaching of poetry is divided into the reading of poetry and the writing of poetry. This division is strange and illogical because the two activities are not only linked, but intermeshed. This book will be an attempt to show how indispensable reading poetry is to writing it and vice versa. The text will be divided into three sections. The first section will be comprised of advice from his own experience on reading poetry to children at KS1 and KS2. The second section will comprise of case studies of children responding to poetry and will show how much children can actually understand. The last section will be comprised of a case study af children writing poems.

Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) was a Neo-Thomist philosopher who taught in France and the United States and was French Ambassador to the Vatican from 1945-48. A Protestant who became a Roman Catholic through association with Leon Bloy, he devoted himself to the study of Thomism and its application to all aspects of modern life and urged Christian involvement in secular affairs. An Introduction to Philosophy is perhaps the most well-known and enduring of all Maritain's many books. It offers a clear and highly readable introduction to the philosophies of both Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas.
