Easter Revision Challenge!

Happy Easter Holidays!

I hope that today’s presentations and Big Fat Quiz got you all in the mood for some poetry. As promised, here are 15 articles which link (some more tenuously than others) to the poems in the character and voice cluster. Take my revision challenge by reading a poem a day as well as coming back to this post to read a linked non-fiction article:
