This #sundayreads is a great ‘how to write’ book. You can learn so much from poets, and as Ted Hughes aimed this at children and teachers, it’s not too erudite. #readingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #poetry #poems #booksworthreading #bookstagram #books #booksofinstagram

My #sundayreads was a wonderful find at @scarthinbooks yesterday here in the #peakdistrict .
