Kate Williams

Very happy indeed to be a contributor to the wonderful new poetry book, Shaping the World, 40 Historical Heroes in Verse, chosen by poet Liz Brownlee for Macmillan Children’s Books!

The collection is out today, April 1st – yes, April Fool’s Day, but this is no joke: it’s a fantastic truth! Every poem is presented in a shape that helps to tell the story of its chosen hero, and on the opposite page you can read lots of extra information about them. An original way to present poems, and an equally original way to present key facts about key people.

Here’s my contribution, celebrating Isaac Newton and his theory of gravity,
‘A Bash of Inspiration’:
