LAURA'S POEMS
Laura Ranger is currently a teenager in Wellington, New Zealand. This beautiful anthology of poems from her early years is a favourite for adults and children alike. She has won awards (eg Autumn Leaves, been published many times, and some of her poems have been critically acclaimed as 'perfect' (eg Two Word Poem). Personally, I love this prodigy's work for its refreshing simplicity. My personal favourites and those that have won awards have an asterisk.

'Laura's Poems' is the name of her book, published when she was 11 years old.

I will eventually get around to noding more of these.
