Talented poet Matt Goodfellow leads a high-energy event, lively with creativity and wit. You’ll love exploring his poems on a range of themes, from the downright silly to the sensitive. Bright Bursts of Colour is a bumper poetry collection perfect for Key Stages 1 & 2 – from a special kind of badger to a map of the stars via book people who hide in the margins, these verses will delight and enthuse you. He used to be a teacher, but these days Matt poets all over the UK – and now he’s coming to help you write your own poems.
