At the heart of this book of compassionate and energetic sonnets are fictionalised portraits of ‘The Kids’, the students she nurtured. But the poems go further, meeting her own child self as she comes of age in the riotous 80s and 90s, later bearing witness to her small son learning to negotiate contemporary London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross these deeply felt poems, Lowe interrogates the acts of teaching and learning with empathy and humour. Social class, gender and race – and their fundamental intersection with education – are investigated with an ever critical and introspective eye. These boisterous and musical poems explore the universal experience of what it is to be taught, to learn and to teach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hannah Lowe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280129044731,"sku":"9781780375793","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781780375793.jpg?v=1772486440","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-kids-9781780375793","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
