Best-Loved Poems | Neil Philip, Isabelle Brent

2 posts | 3 read

This highly accessible collection gathers together the best-loved gems of English language verse, from the deeply moving to the hilariously silly. The poems span the entire range of verse from high drama to stuff-and-nonsense and are presented in nine sections: Poems of Childhood and Youth; Poems of Love and Marriage; Poems of Life; Poems of Loss and Comfort; Poems of War and Peace; Poems to Read Aloud; Poems to Read Quietly; Poems of Animals and Nature and Poems of Magic and Mystery. The anthology includes works by William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Seamus Heaney, Robert Burns, T S Eliot, Rudyard Kipling, W B Yeats and many, many more. The poems have all been chosen and arranged by Neil Philip and the volume is illustrated throughout with watercolour borders and decorative motifs by Isabelle Brent, glowing with her trademark gold leaf.

Quick op shop stop before my bus arrived after work yesterday. The timetable has changed adding an extra hr each day waiting for public transport. Thank god I‘m a reader. I got this book of poetry as I need to get back into the habit of reading a poem instead of playing with my phone in the morning. I try to always buy beauty products with natural ingredients. Hopefully the nail products will smell delicious. The single sheet will become a dress.
