The Song That Sings the Bird

This is a varied mixture of the work of poets such as Sylvia Plath, Gareth Owen, Christina Rossetti, Michael Rosen, Grace Nichols, Walter de la Mare and Ted Hughes. The emphasis is on the contemporary, but traditional poems have been included as well as many which have not previously appeared in an anthology. Ruth Craft is the author of "The Winter Bear" and other children's books.
