| Summary/Abstract |
In this collection of poetry for children, Carol Ann Duffy brings a contagious, whirling energy to all she surveys. Whether it's the heroes of rock 'n' roll, stray giantesses and queens, the husband of the Lock Ness monster, or a girl that falls into a jam jar; with secrets and spells, songs of unrequited love, confessions and pleas, she envelops them all in an irresistible dance of rhythm and rhyme. Rock n roll and poetry collide in a book that every good - and yes, all right! - every bad child deserves.

| Summary/Abstract |
'To be an artist' is a conversation with today's successful and prominent artists from a variety of disciplines - musicians, visual artists, digital artists, poets, writers, activists and scholars. All of them discuss what it means to be an artist today, how they perceive their craft and their world, and the role of art in society. They agree that artists' creativity and success come not only from the intense focus of their craft, but, also from their development of a worldview - from their wider vision and understanding of the world in which they live.
