Taming Words (Woorden Temmen)

From Head to Toe, Grange Fontaine (2020)

DYI Poetry book for children (14 and upwards) in collaboration with Jeroen Dera

You don’t just read poetry with your head, but with your whole body, with all your senses and sensations. These physical sensations are investigated in Taming Words: from Head to Toe: every poem is linked to a body part. Based on inspiring reading-, thinking-, doing- and writing exercises, you will go on a poetic adventure.
