Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. There's something at once elemental and child-like about moving through water whether we paddle like a dog or can manage an elegant crawl. These delightful poems explore the many joys of swimming in pools, rivers and oceans. We travel all the way from a child learning to swim at home on a piano stool to a swimmer in a public baths which become suddenly splendid: "the pool spread like a sunken ballroom, marbled with the winter sun and here, the deep end's edge where I hang breathless," - from 'What I Think About When I'm Swimming' by Hannah Lowe Swimming is a pleasure and a privilege, and these poems remind us that when we take to the water it is not just our bodies that are changed. Poems by Vievee Francis, Paul Henry, Ranjit Hoskote, Hannah Lowe, Nicholas Murray, Katrina Naomi, Jay Parini, Katherine Pierpoint, Stevie Smith and Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Nowadays, running is a serious business and we're all busy recording our PBs on complicated watches. These poems remind us that there's still plenty of fun to be had whether navigating a forest trail before breakfast or lying in bed coming up with reasons not to go out at all. There's the familiar sight of a runner skirting shoppers in a busy street, leaving behind a trail of bemusement: "Was that Paul? Was that Sue? unsure whether the flickering figures half seen from behind might have been the friends they knew, or thought they knew." - from 'Runners in Town' by Jenny King The abiding spirit of the selection is that running remains the most democratic of sports and that the main thing really is the taking part, be it in a 5K or a marathon or simply a trot around a local forest. Poems by Helen Allison, Carole Bromley, Wanda Coleman, Mark Granier, Stephen Keeler, Jenny King, Glyn Maxwell, Eugene Ethelbert Miller, Mandy Sutter and David Wagoner. Cover illustration by Hannah Forward. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Butterflies must be the most beautiful of all insects. They are with us while the warm weather lasts, and seeing a Brimstone in a garden early in the year is one of the most delightful heralds of spring's arrival. The vividness and frailty of butterflies as they flicker across our summer meadows are why they seem to embody a sense of transience and may also be why they are so popular with poets. For Judith Wright a butterfly's short life is all about love: Lifted by air and dream they rose and circled into heaven's slipstream to seek each other over fields of blue. - from 'Wings' by Judith Wright This glorious selection celebrates butterflies from all over the world from a Swallowtail in the English Fens to a Spotted Jezebel in Australia and reminds us to look closely at their dazzling beauty while we can. Poems by Nandi Chinna, John Clare, WH Davies, Emily Dickinson, Robert Graves, Matthew Hollis, John Kinsella, Grace Nichols, Giles Watson and Judith Wright. Cover illustration by Carry Akroyd.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What is it about robins that makes them so easy to love? Is it the jaunty red breast? Or the fact that they have been known to build their nests in kettles, boots, coat pockets and even under car bonnets places that seem to suggest a wish to be close to our human world? Perhaps it's because they appear to want to keep us company by perching close by while we're gardening or flitting alongside us when we're out on a walk. Hamish Whyte's delightful selection comes with a limited edition poem postcard and explores the countless ways in which these endearing and cheerful birds brighten our lives: "I'm man"s inedible Permanent bird. I dine in his garden, My spoon is his spade." - from 'Robin's Round' by UA Fanthorpe These are poems that will charm and delight throughout the year just like the robin's beautiful song, which can be heard even in the darkest days of winter. Hamish Whyte is a Scottish poet who has published pamphlets and full collections, as well as editing several anthologies. He also runs Mariscat Press. The special postcard features the poem 'Brou-Rhuddyn' by Pippa Little, winner of our postcard poem competition. Poems by Fleur Adcock, John Clare, Emily Dickinson, UA Fanthorpe, John Freeman, Stanley Kunitz, Norman MacCaig, Christina Rossetti, Peter Walton and Hamish Whyte. Cover illustration by Sam Cannon.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Most of us live in cities, and there is a rich tradition of poems about their tireless hustle and bustle. In Jessica Mookherjee's lively selection, we find poems that explore the hectic rhythms of day-to-day life in a city, as well as the rather more mysterious character of a city at night a place where streetlights and drunken rooftops create a dreamscape in which anything might happen. Ever present is the sense that a city never stops: All afternoon labouring geese fly over the city. Cars hoot,sirens fugue. Beneath bank towers, a statue shifts. A man,blue clown, blows two-note whistles for a living. from 'Commerce, Madrid, 2012' by Carola Luther This mini-anthology transports us to cities real and imagined in a delightful kaleidoscope that shimmers and shifts at each rereading. Poems by Suzannah Evans, Andrew Fusek-Peters, Kapka Kassabova, Carola Luther, John McCullough, Jessica Mookherjee, Meryl Pugh, Roger Robinson, James Tate and Sara Teasdale. Cover illustration by Clare Curtis. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In our Almanac for 2024 you'll find beautiful poems old and new, chosen to keep you company through the year. We open with a poem that moves from mud and greyness to a vision of springtime-in-waiting, glimpsed in a clutch of green spears. Summer brings strawberries and swims by moonlight, while autumn is full of birds: Today I'm noticing wings a swan spreads its pinions wide, drinks late, strange warmth from October skies. from 'Callings' by Sue Burge The selection ends with a paean to winter sunshine, and an evening a deux beside an open fire. Poetry can find wonder in all seasons and all weathers, and this mini-anthology will bring delight from January to December. Poems by Robert Browning, Sue Burge, Josephine Corcoran, Lucy Dixcart, Nicolette Golding, Lucy Ingrams, Stephen Keeler, DH Lawrence, Edna St Vincent Millay, Henrietta Cordelia Ray, Angela Readman and Edward Thomas.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The antidote to festive stodge and too much television, a Christmas walk has become as traditional as turkey and crackers. Whatever the weather, we don hats, scarves and boots to venture outside. The point is to crunch over snow, stamp through puddles or just to breathe the different air all while sharing time with loved ones. In these twelve poems the winners in our seasonal competition we experience everything from a holly-gathering expedition in a country lane, to a beach in Australia where the sand is white as snow. Over and again comes the idea that a walk can be a pilgrimage, sparking memories and a sense of the abiding presence of the past: I once walked up the lane with my children by moonlit snow, power lines down in the deepest dark they had ever known; we made a small hand-held line from 'A low owl at Christmas' by Valerie Bence Poems by Bill Adair, Valerie Bence, Jane Burn, Martyn Crucefix, Kerry Darbishire, Marie-Louise Eyres, Annie Kissack, Aoife Mannix, Charlotte Oliver, Penny Sharman, Giles Watson and Miriam Wei Wei Lo.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. We've had so many requests for a pamphlet about friends and friendship, and finally it's here! This insightful selection of ten funny, poignant and refreshingly honest poems deals with the reality of friendship in all its forms. From childhood alliances at school through the angst of teenage years into companionship and the redemption of old age, Lorraine Mariner shows that friendship poems come in as many different shapes and sizes as our friends themselves. "Half my friends are dead. I will make you new ones, said earth. No, give them back, as they were, instead, with faults and all, I cried." - from 'Sea Canes' by Derek Walcott Poems by Edwin Brock, Polly Clark, Elizabeth Jennings, Jackie Kay, Lorraine Mariner, Alden Nowlan, May Sarton, Stevie Smith, Derek Walcott and Emily Wills.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. John Keats' beaker of the warm South must be the most famous glass of wine in poetry. Who could fail to remember the beaded bubbles and the purple-stained mouth? We can almost taste the rich berry notes as we read. This selection features part of that much-loved paean to a luscious red, alongside poems that celebrate delicious wines of other hues. We experience a grape harvest in Spain which is celebrated as a form of alchemy, and a wedding reception at which wine represents all the good things that lie ahead for the new couple. Elsewhere, one poet's experience of a glass of Sauvignon Blanc is so intense that she almost becomes the wine as she drinks: I can drink on my own. I am cut grass, light-bodied, off-dry. - from 'Tasting Notes' by Emma Storr Poems by Li Bai, Jane Commane, Wendy Cope, Jonathan Davidson, John Keats, Gregory Leadbetter, Miriam Wei Wei Lo, Matthew Stewart, Emma Storr and James Thomson. Cover illustration by Jane Walker. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This mini-anthology finds us mostly in the UK after the more distant travels of our accompanying Outbound title. The selection captures the timeless drama and romance of getting from A to B by train. RL Stevenson's poem revels breathlessly in the thrill of moving at what was then thought to be high speed: Faster than fairies, faster than witches, Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches; And charging along like troops in a battle, All through the meadows the horses and cattle from 'From a Railway Carriage' by Robert Louis Stevenson But the abiding spirit of the poems is perhaps a sense of freedom the fact of being neither here nor there something that all too briefly allows us to imagine other possibilities and other lives. Poems by Jonathan Davidson, Khiwani Deepankar, Emily Dickinson, Maura Dooley, Helen Dunmore, David Hart, Cynthia Kitchen, Ian McMillan, Graham Mort and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This mini-anthology is the outbound leg of our pair of titles celebrating train travel, and it takes us on some fascinating worldwide adventures. Again and again the poems dramatise the fact that when we board a train we open ourselves up to unexpected and vivid encounters. Trains can't help being political; they cover vast distances and experience far more than we ever will: Racing on iron errands, the trains go by, and over the white acres of our orchards hurl their wild summoning cry, their animal cry from 'The Trains' by Judith Wright Most of all, the selection is alive to the sheer power of trains their ability to carry us away and also to make us stop in our tracks to take stock of exactly where we are.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Coco Chanel declared a hat to be essential when lunching with people one didn't know very well. These days such pretensions may seem old hat but we still set store by this quintessentially personal item of clothing. In these pages we encounter hats of all shapes and sizes. There's a grandfather's beloved trilby and an imagined bathing cap belonging to Napoleon. There's also a hopeful hat waiting for coins on a city pavement. Best of all, perhaps, we experience the old-fashioned glamour of a milliner's shop: There are multi-coloured reels, ends of rickrack, bias bindings, tiny satin flowers, and hats with floppy brims on blank-faced, long-necked Nefertiti heads, - from 'Cloche' by John Foggin These varied poems will delight and entertain in equal measure. Poems by Rita Dove, John Foggin, John Freeman, Clarinda Harriss, Robert Hedin, Linda Pastan, Carole Satyamurti, James Tate, Andrew Taylor and ASJ Tessimond. Cover illustration by Jane Burn.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Libraries are treasured places. We may remember visiting a local library in childhood to explore an early delight in reading. Or perhaps we have come to value them in later life, as a calm sanctuary where we can daydream among beloved books. A library is also a portal into countless worlds of knowledge, experience and adventure: Oh, I could walk any aisle and smell wisdom, put a handout to touch the rough curve of bound leather, the harsh parchment of dreams. - from 'Maple Valley Branch Library, 1967' by Rita Dove With irresistible affection, these poems celebrate the many things that libraries mean to us as we move through the phases of our lives. The poems are selected and introduced by poet Lorraine Mariner who has worked at the National Poetry Library in London for many years. Poems by Adrian Buckner, Louise Chandler Moulton, Claire Crowther, Rita Dove, Martina Evans, Edward Hirsch, Lorraine Mariner, Ian McMillan, Charles Simic and Indigo Williams.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This wonderful mini-anthology of poems is a celebration of the many ways in which mothers are important in our lives. We meet the bedtime-story-reading mother with her special bedtime story voice, and the mother who loves to cook with fruit and vegetables from her patch at the bottom of the garden. Then there's the elderly mother who can still manage a couple of "quick two minute waltzes" to Abba or Queen when her son comes to visit. This mother's relationship with her son is complex, but nevertheless there is love. There are also poems that celebrate the precious memories we hold after our mothers are no longer with us. When a man hears a woman singing he is transported back: "To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide." - from 'Piano' by DH Lawrence These poems will make you laugh and cry and sometimes both. Poems by Fleur Adcock, Mona Arshi, Gillian Clarke, Maura Dooley, Jonathan Edwards, Jackie Kay, DH Lawrence, James Reeves, John Siddique and Benjamin Zephaniah. Supplied with envelope and bookmark.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. How many ways are there to say the words "I love you"? According to poetry, the ways are countless and rich with room for humour, lust, tenderness and a healthy dose of self-mockery. These fourteen poems are not about love but declare it with an immediacy that's captivating and irresistible. Longing may be expressed using all sorts of images there's even a riff on a famous Shakespeare sonnet where we find ourselves in outer space but at the heart of all the poems is love and the urgent need to proclaim it: "I love your eyes when the lovelight lies Lit with a passionate fire." - from 'I Love You' by Ella Wheeler Wilcox This is an anthology that says "I love you" with a freshness and directness that's guaranteed to stir even the stoniest of hearts. Poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Burns, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Katharine Goda, Nathalie Handal, Christopher Marlowe, Mary Mulholland, James Nash, Abigail Parry, Rachel Plummer, William Shakespeare, Penny Sharman, Dominic Weston and Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Vikings, Romans, Normans. Grand industrial cities and national parks. Yorkshire encompasses so much that it probably takes poetry to do it justice. And who better to choose the poems than the 'Bard of Barnsley' Ian McMillan, who still lives in the Yorkshire town where he was born. The poems travel the length, breadth and depth of the county, taking in weather (there's more than enough rain), cricket and coal-mining, alongside barges on the Humber and the wild glories of the Dales. Everywhere there is the sense of a deep-rooted history in a county where: what you see is not the whole story but the seam of something precious gone underground, a darkly silver trail from 'The 1984 Perspective' by Maura Dooley Yorkshire, it appears, is not only a place but a state of mind and these poems demonstrate that invigorating fact in a rich variety of ways. Poems by Maura Dooley, Helen Dunmore, David Harmer, Geoff Hattersley, Zaffar Kunial, Harold Massingham, Ian McMillan, Pete Morgan, Genny Rahtz and Florence Tweddell. Cover illustration by James Green. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Nearly all of us have an 'auntie' or 'aunty' even if the person in question isn't actually a relative. In these entertaining and touching poems we meet story-telling aunts and aunts who spin their own yarn, aunts who send gifts from afar and an aunt with a crew cut who knows far more about love than could ever be imagined. The poems demonstrate that the essence of being an aunt is to always be there when needed: When your heart breaks, as hearts sometimes do, Aunt Constance at Looewill feed it on Cornish cream and philosophy, soothe it with strawberries for tea; from 'Aunts' by Virginia Graham The poems tender and wry by turn are a reminder that aunts in all their various guises are to be treasured and celebrated.

Livre
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This beguiling mini anthology is for gardeners and garden-lovers, the green-fingered and the willing admirer. The poems, like the gardens they describe, range from formality to informality and from elegance to sweet-scented shades of mystery. As Monty Don writes in his introduction, the poems are practical celebrations of why and how to garden; they are to be read with soil under your nails. But they are also to be read to cultivate "all that grows within". The very particular inner repose that comes from a day in the garden is something we all need more than ever: ".peace never leaves him. But it rushes through me, not as sustenance the flower holds but like bright light through the bare tree." - from 'Vespers' by Louise Glueck Poems by Richard Church, Henry Constable, Barbara Daniels, Maura Dooley, Ann Drysdale, Louise Glueck, Katherine Mansfield, Robin Robertson, Vikram Seth and Robert Louis Stevenson. Cover illustration by Rosalind Bliss. Supplied with envelope and bookmark. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
