The volume editors draw together a wide-range of perspectives to provide support for development of creative practices across the age phases, drawing on learners' and teachers' perceptions of what poetry teaching is like in all its forms and within a variety of contexts, including:\u003cbr\u003e- inspiring young people to write poems\u003cbr\u003e- engaging invisible pupils (especially boys)\u003cbr\u003e- listening to poetry\u003cbr\u003e- performing poetry \u003cbr\u003eThroughout, the contributors include practical, tried-and-tested materials, including activities, and draw on case studies. This approach ensures that the theory is clearly linked to practice as they consider teaching and learning poetry to those aged between 5 and 19 from different perspectives, looking at reading; writing; speaking and listening; and transformative poetry cultures. Each of the four parts includes teacher commentaries on how they have adapted and developed the poetry activities for use in their own classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSue Dymoke\u003c\/b\u003e is Reader in Education in the School of Education at the University of Leicester, UK, where she is  Course Leader of the Secondary PGCE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMyra Barrs\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance writer and researcher working in education.
