Wise up! Wise down!

John Agard & JonArno Lawson, illustrated by Satoshi Kitamura

What’s not to love in this collection of witty, reflective and thought-provoking poems from the renowned John Agard and Jon Arno Lawson? Wise Up! Wise Down! is a lively conversation between two internationally renowned poets.

Many of the poems work as question and answer, on themes such as nature or science, gently probing into thoughts such as ‘Do our minds have minds?’ or ‘Should a helping hand be right or left?’

It is a collection that can be dipped into time and time again. It would be great for reading aloud, especially as there is a mix of poetic styles.

It’s a delight!
