Media Reviews
This collection attempts a great deal ... It will certainly provoke discussion ... The voices sound authentic ... There is comic relief, but essentially the book offers a place in which some readers can breathe a sigh of relief in the knowledge that they're not alone with their preoccupations. -- The Guardian 20021015 Sharply apposite poems ... a real book for teenagers, and probably not to be read by faint-hearted adults! -- Carousel 20021001 Even better than the best poetry book in the world ever, Poems with Attitude. It's impossible to pick a favourite. Peters is a poet who writes like a teenager. Everything is so true - he's lived it, and writes about it. -- Reading is Fundamental 20020901
