The World’s Greatest Space Cadet by James Carter (Bloomsbury)
Oh yes! This collection is very good indeed. All I need do is to quote Hey, Poem:
Tell me something I don’t know –
like how do clouds make all that snow
Or dazzle me,
or make me think,
weave wonders there
in that black ink
or give me secrets,
riddles, lies
a little thought,
a big surprise –
poem, work your
magic do –
but most of all
say something NEW . . .
James Carter’s poems do all that. What more can you ask for!
