It’s the Sound of the Thing is an exuberant and evocative collection of poetry for young people from Maxine Beneba Clarke, one of Australia’s most innovative and celebrated poets.

This extraordinary collection celebrates the joy of language and features enticing and relatable poems about everyday life – the sounds of the block, the boredom of detention and the happenings in the schoolyard. Poems about candy, peanut butter and pets. Poems about a big brother’s messy room, a grandfather’s fading memory and a grandmother’s garden magic. Through haiku, sonnets, narrative verse, rhyming couplets, limericks, free verse, tongue-twisters and more, Maxine Beneba Clarke invites listeners to fall in love with the wonder that is poetry.

'A tremendous new voice; a writer of immense talent and depth.' on Foreign Soil)
Kirkus Reviews

'Clarke is the real deal, and will, if we're lucky, be an essential voice in world literature for years to come.' (on Foreign Soil)
Dave Eggers, bestselling author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

'... a brilliant resource in showing that not only can poetry be easier to understand than we might first believe, but it’s also an excellent way to express complex or private feelings, making poetry a more accessible form of writing or journaling for kids.'
Readings

'This new collection is the incredible result of hard work and letting an imagination run free.'
