Description: Poetry is a frequently neglected aspect of both the language curriculum in primary schools and literature courses in secondary schools. The writers contributing to this volume explore the reasons for this oversight and suggest ways for the non-specialist teacher to enliven current practice. Accounts of research projects illuminate the role and status of poetry in schools.
