Poet’s Notebook, A

Description

“Winnie-the-Pooh never explains what he means by ‘the noise-you-make-before-beginning-a-piece-of-poetry’. But in this glorious gallimaufry Stewart Henderson allows us an insight into ‘the noise-the-poet-makes-before-writing-one’. A Poet’s Notebook gives us a glimpse inside the mind and the muse of the poet, the rhapsodic rattlebag from which each individual poem coalesces out of chaos.” – Paul Vallely, former executive editor of The Independent on Sunday and author of bestselling biography, Pope Francis: Untying The Knots “What Michael Morpurgo has done for children’s fiction, Henderson has done for poetry”- Melanie Carroll, The Church Times “Stewart has the capacity to engage naturally and touch deeply- He makes it look effortless”- Christine Morgan, Head of Radio, BBC Religion and Ethics “He understands the packed power of words; the importance of their use and measure”- Gillian Reynolds, radio critic, The Sunday Times “Essential reading” – The Sunday Times
