A witchy poetry book for older children from the Caterpillar Poetry Prize winner.
A witchy poetry collection for older children.
A hard-working junior witch strides around a magical landscape, learning her craft. Her cloak is stuffed with scraps of paper – letters, notes and lists – some of which have tumbled out and been collected into this book.
Nature blends with magic and sometimes more everyday concerns in these soothing, playful, empowering poems. A to-do list for planning a pumpkin party. A blessing for a tiny tree. An identification spell for a bird curse.
Poems from a Witch’s Pocket is an eerily enchanting collection aimed at pre-teens but suitable for all ages. Perfect for all aspiring hovel witches!
‘For me, this is the sort of magic that only a poem can accomplish... There is depth and complexity here – about ecology, about friendship – but this is all worn lightly and the tone is sustained with great skill and beauty from start to finish.’ - Kate Wakeling, CLiPPA & The Week Jnr Prize-winning poet
-- Kate Wakeling, Judge of the 2025 Caterpillar Poetry P- ‘For me, this is the sort of magic that only a poem can accomplish.’
