AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It's the Sound of the Thing is an exciting collection of poetry for children and teens from Maxine Beneba Clarke, one of Australia’s most innovative and celebrated poets.

'This extraordinary collection celebrates the joy of language and features evocative, enticing poems about everyday life – the sounds of the block, the boredom of detention, and the happenings in the schoolyard. About candy, peanut butter and puddles. About a big brother’s messy room, a grandfather’s fading memory, and a grandmother’s garden magic. Through haiku, sonnets, narrative verse, rhyming couplets, limericks, free verse and more, Maxine invites children and young teens to fall in love with the wonder that is poetry.'
