Decision makers, self-made men and women and all people with something to say, Poetry for Now provides an opportunity for an otherwise silent crowd to lay open their hopes and fears, their disappointments and occasional humour.

Poetry of life in literature and through literature, and the vast territory in between, where they interact and influence each other, is the nerve of human existence. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are profoundly dissatisfied with the stark reality of life's swift progress onward, and the irretrievable meaning of the past. And so we dramatize our existence, probing deeply for a valid sense of our experience. It is in great works of literature that we seek those hidden springs that so move...

In Bricks and Ballads , her sixth volume, Alison Brackenbury demonstrates the fine art of a kind of ‘bel canto’. As a lyrical poet, her work truly does sing, and it sings best of all amidst the uncertainty. Not that Brackenbury is a poet who dwells on the hopelessness of life or feeds on pessimism. Hers is a sympathetic imagination and she is a poet whose work is informed by her relationship with her world, all the good, and the bad and the ugly. Brackenbury’s work can be witty, clever, or sardonic...

When asked by the school inspector what he thought of poetry, an eleven year old replied that 'it’s all la-di-da and daffodils, isn’t it?' In his primary school the boy had come across very little poetry apart from nursery rhymes, snatches of rhyming verse and a few comic pieces and nonsense poems. Poetry to him was something arcane, not really related to his own life. He had studied no powerful, challenging, contemplative, arresting, quirky poems and had written very few poems himself. His teacher...

"There are almost as many definitions and different sorts of love as there are poets. Edited on the assumption that any poem which speaks of one human's desire for another is a qualifying factor, "The New Penguin Book of Love Poetry" is a rich and diverse anthology which ranges through time and fashion. Passion, urgency, simplicity, heartbreak and renunciation are all here in a volume that superbly represents 'man's changeless responses to the changeless changing seasons of his heart'."

The Romanticism that emerged after the American and French revolutions of 1776 and 1789 represented a new flowering of the imagination and the spirit, and a celebration of the soul of humanity with its capacity for love. This extraordinary collection sets the acknowledged genius of poems such as Blake's 'Tyger', Coleridge's 'Khubla Khan' and Shelley's 'Ozymandias' alongside verse from less familiar figures and women poets such as Charlotte Smith and Mary Robinson. We also see familiar poets in an...

About This Book This book arose from several years of research on Akhmatova. Anna Akhmatova is one of the most acclaimed poets of the twentieth century. Her career falls into two distinct periods, an 'earlier' and a 'later', the dividing line being her period of relative silence between 1925 and 1940. As is often observed, her return to poetry brings with it a sudden and dramatic shift away from a relatively homogenous body of early lyric miniatures to a more diverse and complex style. One of the...
