Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Michael Rosen has written poetry, children's stories, plays, presented radio and TV programmes and he spends a lot of time performing his work in schools, book festivals and theatres. He has been teaching in universities since the early 1990s, and since 2014, he has been Professor of Children's Literature at Goldsmiths University of London.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

There is the warmth and wit of the poet's family vignettes, affording the reader a glimpse into Rosen's inheritance of idiosyncratic humour and ethical nerve. There is also the life-denying nonsense-speak of our current political moment. Rosen moves deftly between these territories. Words Aloud is not narrowly political. Rather, the poignant poems of family and community lend depth and liveliness to the political material. Words Out Loud acknowledges that words have been put to some terrible uses lately, by politicians and the media, but still dares to believe they might also offer us a profound kind of hope.
