Bookwagon loves and recommends I Am a Poetato." * Bookwagon *“Engaging typography, quirky backgrounds and a scrapbook feel make this a great book for children to sit and read in book clubs or dip into. Teachers will love the sheer variety of the poems which make this an ideal source for modelling poetry or developing animal-themed literacy unit.” * School Reading List *"John Hegley has produced a collection of surreal, comical poetry which is reminiscent of the nonsensical, playful styles of poets such as Spike Milligan or Edward Lear... There are various forms and poetic structures, such as acrostics and shape poems. Each is combined with illustrations and typography to make the whole book a very engaging and visual experience... This is a collection that delights in word play and is humorous, but occasionally invites deeper contemplation... and demands to be read aloud." * Just Imagine - Reading Gladiators, choices for Year 3 *

Spinifex Press Poems from the Madhouse
Book SynopsisPoems from the Madhouse invites readers into the paradoxical world of insanity: the confusion and clarity, the courage and fear, the bleak despair and the black comedy. Only a poet could make us hear the thundering whisper of insanity, the endless circling of the revolving door, the sheer practicality of whatever gets you through the night. Here are portraits of other people in wards filled with restless wanderers. In the end, it is humour, a thesaurus of monickers that enable the reader to emerge sadder, wiser, but not hopeless.Trade ReviewThis is disturbing but quite wonderful poetry, because of its clarity, its humour, its imagery, and the insights it gives us into being human, being mad, being sane. I read and read and was profoundly moved." Anne Deveson"
