The spectacular range of poems for children includes work by Roger McGough

The Underlook By Helen Seymour #Bloodaxebooks in Kipling's wordsThe Underlook balances precariously between the real and the surreal. Informed by experiences of physical disability, surgery, and medical trauma, this collection articulates a life lived under the bed, at the bottom of a well, in the glances exchanged between doctors. The poems revel in the uncanny and in the power of ignored or repressed spaces, summoning us under to listen crouch down press [a] hand against the white gloss shuddering.
