Let's Chase Stars Together

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Let's Chase Stars Together by Matt Goodfellow is gorgeous. I lost myself and saw myself. * Manjeet Mann, author of Run, Rebel and The Crossing * A punchy, poignant, playful volume of poetry for 10+. Goodfellow's assured use of rhyme and repetition gives his work a powerful, singing depth. * The Guardian * The topics reflect what it means to be young in the world today, making space for
vulnerability and strength. "I spin the wheel of worry every day," one poem notes, but
another cautions: "don't mess with this battle-scarred child." Nature, school and
family feature in these accessible poems. * The Irish Times * The latest heartful collection of true things from Matt Goodfellow. * A.F.
