Like Bite In 1, this book is recommended to people who are just starting poetry, like children for example or preteens. Similarly, as with Bite In 1, this anthology (collection) of poems, Bite In 2, has poems arranged in several sections. They are “People and Stories”, “Creatures and Things”, “Places and Times” and “Looking at Life”. Each section consists of fairly simple poems which are usually easy to read and to interpret. A favourite poem for many is one which appears right before the contents page in the book called “How to Eat a Poem” by the poet Eve Merriam (from which the series gets the title Bite In); which compares enjoying and reading poetry to eating a delicious fruit. Indeed, this is the intention behind the Bite In series, that readers of poetry, particularly young readers, will discover a love and passion for reading, responding to and writing their own poems. It is hoped that through the teaching of poetry teachers of this literary genre will engender in their students a profound willingness to “bite into” the creative possibilities which the study of poetry offers to everyone exposed to this literary art form, especially young impressionable minds.
