Judith Nicholl turns ordinary things of life into myths and mysteries, grand stories, amusing songs or epic tales. On the other hand, she takes the mighty Roman empire – and packs it up into 40 words! Judith reads her poems in a slow, thoughtful way. If you listen to ‘Winter’, you can hear how she allows the music of each word to sound fully. https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/poem/winter/ Judith makes use of traditional poetic forms, including ballad and riddle. Some of the poems have a refrain which makes them sound rather like a song.
