The Point of Poetry - Reviews
It is just a delight to find so many reviewers of 'The Point of Poetry' responding so positively to the book's aim.
"Joe Nutt’s book The Point of Poetry is not necessarily meant to be a textbook, but if it were, it is the textbook we all wish we had back when poetry was being taught–or so often assaulted or inflicted–back in high school or college."
"I absolutely loved this book! I feel that it’s given me back the confidence to start picking up more poetry collections again and to spend time reading poems out loud and taking time to really think about them."
"If every trainee teacher read and attended a book discussion on The Point of Poetry, the quality of pastoral care in UK schools would undoubtedly improve."
But my favourite has to be this tweet: "Just finished reading your book 'The Point of Poetry.' Beautifully written and extremely enlightening. It should be in every school and sixth form library. No Question."
