Lettermorphosis

‘Lettermorphosis’ is the perfect gateway to poetry, for young and old alike. It is an entertaining and eclectic collection of poems by Daren Peary and is sure to amuse, educate and stimulate creativity. Subject matters range from tea to tattoos, from Marilyn Monroe to marmite, from Betty the Yeti to burlesque, and each poem is beautifully and distinctively illustrated by artist Daniel Rodriguez. The poems take a variety of forms – some are in character, such as the delightful ‘The Hiphopapotamouse’, some are more experimental, such as ‘The Day My Dog Turned into a Cat’, but all are full of imagination and inventiveness.

‘Lettermorphosis’ is designed to make poetry fun and inspiring for young people throughout their school years, but there is also plenty to make adults of all ages laugh and think. It is a wonderful collection, and the ideal introduction to the possibilities of poetry.
