Description
The father of performance poetry, John Agard, brings you a collection of riotously funny poems. Follow that Word is a celebration of imagination and demonstrates the true diversity of language.
A dazzling collection of over sixty poems, Follow that Word delivers John Agard's musings on people and places from the modern and historical world. This wonderful collection can be rediscovered over and over again. With gorgeous black-and-white illustrations from Momoko Abe, these poems truly come to life for all children, and this collection belongs on every bookshelf.
'It's been around from Creation dawn,
And it only takes two to catch on,
Try it people, and you'll soon see,
This is a dance that can set you free,
It's called the dance of diversity.'
Reviews for Half-caste, and Other Poems:
'Rollicking Caribbean-flavored rhythms combined with serious matters such as racism define poet extraordinaire, Agard.' - Voya
A performance poet, Agard uses his rhyme, repetition, and refrains that make his work sing...Skilful use of humour to get his serious points across. - The Book Horn Inc
