About the Book

Born out of twenty years of helping young writers find skill and delight in poetry, these poems speak to adults and children alike, opening our eyes to the world around us and inside ourselves. Most of all, they invite the reader to pick up a pen and write themselves.

About the Author :
Philip Gross is a writer of many parts — from prize-winning poetry to teenage novels of high suspense and unsettling depths. Son of a wartime refugee from Estonia and a Cornish schoolmaster’s daughter, his work explores borderlines - between childhood and adult life, between fantasy and reality. He has two grown-up children and a grandson, and lives in Penarth with his wife Zélie. He has led writing workshops in schools for twenty years, and is Professor of Creative Writing at Glamorgan University.

Review :

An exciting and original poet ... He is prepared to take risks. He challenges with rich and unusual language, and he takes poetry for children into a territory of strong emotions, often hauntingly expressed. There is no one else writing quite as he does.

... an elegant exhibition of craftsmanship and intellectual mystery .... You go back to Philip Gross’s poems as they re-echo in your head ... Here is writing at the upper edge of children’s poetry

Philip Gross has pioneered a new form of writing for young readers in which he sets Everest-high standards not only in content but also in the skilful use of form, construction, rhyme and rhythm in the poems. Scratch City deserves to be widely read. It is thought-provoking, enriching and a fine example of craftsmanship in creative writing

This is a world of playful conceits and chilly intimations in which voices carry on the wind, lost souls press for recognition, doors become mirrors and mirrors doors. Wordplay is the key to understanding, and the whole enterprise is cleverly designed to nudge young readers into an awareness… that through their own writing they can unlock more than they might have bargained for.
