Book Description

An uplifting, moving and funny poetry anthology including the most-loved poets of the past and popular contemporary voices

About the Author

Faced by a scary and uncertain world, it seems more and more people are finding that poets put it better than they can. This little collection brings together the comfort, wisdom and wit of poems you might have read for the first time on Instagram or twitter, or remember from your childhood; as well as some we hope will become new favourites. It includes poems from Maya Angelou, Margaret Atwood, William Blake, Anne Bronte, Wendy Cope, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Nikita Gill, Philip Larkin, Hollie McNish, Christina Rossetti, Gil Scott-Heron, William Shakespeare, Lemn Sissay, Kate Tempest, Thoreau, Walt Whitman, W.B. Yeats - and many more.

Bought this as a gift, book is in almost perfect condition and brand new. Slightest bit of marking on the corners of the book but doesn't make a difference to the book itself.
