What Is the Truth?
Why is it
The roustabout Rooster, raging at the dawn
Wakes us so early?
A warrior king is on fire!
His armour is all crooked daggers and scimitars
And it''s shivering red-hot – with rage!
First published in 1984, this book of prose-linked animal poems won both the Guardian Children''s Fiction Award and the Signal Poetry Award.
