Mother Gave a Shout
Morag Styles and Susanna Steele
This collection brings together poems by women and girls of many cultures: the familiar names of Wendy Cope, Sylvia Plath, Grace Nichols and Maya Angelou are placed alongside poems by children and traditional chants and rhymes from North America, Ireland, Japan and Africa. A few more substantial poems would have added to the anthology's worth as a teaching resource, though the attractive presentation and easy mix will appeal to browsers.
