Illustrating Poetry - Chris Riddell for The Poetry Society

Chris Riddell, former Children's Laureate, talks you through three illustrations he makes of winning poems from The Poetry Society's Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award 2019. The second and third poems deal with some difficult subjects (illness and death), with references to suicide 5:07 - 7:45 and cancer from 7:45, but the video is suitable for teenagers and up who want to learn more about illustrated poems.
