' Someone recently said to me, in reference to my poetry podcast, that you' d think poetry would be more popular than ever, in the twenty-first century, because people don' t have a lot of time and ' novels are often quite big while poems are often quite small' . I referred them to Doctor Who' s Tardis. ' Frank Skinner wants you to read more poetry. Wait, wait - don' t stop reading. Whether you' re a frequent poetry reader or haven' t read any since sixth form, Frank' s infectious passion for language, rhythm and metre will win you over and provide you with the basic tools you need to tackle any poem. In this short, easy-to-digest and delightful book, Frank guides us through the twists and turns of ' Pad, pad' by Stevie Smith, a short, seemingly simple poem that contains multitudes of meaning and a deceptive depth of emotion. Revel in the mastery of Stevie Smith' s choice of words, consider the eternal mystery of the speaker of the poem and be moved by rhyming couplets like you never have before. Give it a go. You never know, you might even enjoy it.
