Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Spring can creep up on us; when it's grey and chilly it's easy to miss the early signs that a new season is on the way. In her lyrical evocation of a pond on Dartmoor, leading naturalist Miriam Darlington pays close and loving attention to the quiet changes that take place at the very start of spring from the first shoots of flag iris to the shivery delta of frogspawn as it starts to wriggle with tadpoles. There is an abiding sense of the enriching connection between humans and the wild landscape: The moor in spring can be an absorbent place. It takes you and your mood and enfolds you beneath its wing. Low sun brushed the grass tips, and in the pearly sky something subtle was happening. It was reflected in the water surface that was all a-glimmer, shining cloud on cloud as if sending it all back skywards This beautiful pamphlet will delight readers at any time of year a reminder that nature is always there, waiting to beguile us with its wonders. Poems by Diana Hendry and Edward Thomas. Cover illustration by Sarah Young. Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A bouquet is a welcome and beautiful thing, but the beauty is inevitably short-lived. This delightful mini-anthology, however, is guaranteed never to wither. Roses, fritillaries, daisies, gentians and the humble ragwort are celebrated here by poets ranging from Mimi Khalvati to William Wordsworth. We experience their colours and scents in vivid language, so each lives on the page with all the intensity of a real flower. Sometimes it seems we can even learn from them; lilacs growing in an urban street know as much about love as we do: "Lilac, like love, makes no distinction. It will open for anyone. Even before love knows that it is love lilac knows it must blossom." - from 'City Lilacs' by Helen Dunmore This is one of the lovely mysteries of these poems that a flower can somehow be like us and shed light on our own hopes and joys. Poems by John Clare, Beth Davies, Helen Dunmore, John Heath-Stubbs, Sean Hewitt, Mimi Khalvati, DH Lawrence, Anne Ridler, Edward Thomas and William Wordsworth. Cover illustration by Angie Lewin. Supplied with envelope and bookmark. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Shakespeare's sonnets, first published in 1609, have been pored over with endless fascination by critics through the centuries, raided by other writers and translated into every major living language. To read them is to be immersed in beauty. Although this pamphlet can only offer a sample (there are one hundred and fifty four sonnets altogether) each sonnet nonetheless stands alone too, full square in its fourteen lines, a small miracle. "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." - from Sonnet XVIII Cover illustration by Paul Bommer.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What could be more evocative of heady summer days than a meadow in all its blowy, flowery glory? In this exquisite prose essay, leading naturalist Miriam Darlington takes us deep into the heart of a local meadow in her beloved Devon. She describes how a drained and threadbare place is regenerated, how it slowly fills with flowers, insects, mammals and birds until it is teeming with life a patchwork of heaven. The meadow does its own work, but it is helped by human hands something that creates a passionate bond between the writer and this special habitat: I turned myself over to the hot blue sky, lying among eyebright, pimpernel and meadowsweet. My senses attuned to a tide of cricket-sound, the whirring voice of the grassland. from 'The Summer Meadow' by Miriam Darlington There are many kinds of meadow, we are told. By paying close attention to the particular, a treasured place is brought to life in all its vivid and unique beauty. Poems by EJ Scovell and Katharine Towers. Cover illustration by Niki Bowers. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. There's a fragrant, peachy-yellow rose called 'poetry in motion' proof (if needed) of poetry's love affair with roses, this most sumptuous of flowers. Our gorgeous mini-anthology contains all manner of roses. You'll find a climbing rose that longs for another life, a meditation on the simple pleasure of tending roses and helping them to grow, together with a lyrical paean to the essence of the flower itself in all its scented, luscious-petalled glory: "Blossom, my darling, blossom, be a rose Of roses unchidden and purposeless; a rose For rosiness only, without an ulterior motive." - from 'Rose of all the World' by DH Lawrence This selection of rose poems makes a beautiful little garden that will offer delight in every season of the year.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Most of us can remember our first kiss, whether it was glorious and transporting or merely awkward. Kissing, it transpires, can happen anywhere on a train, in a city park or against a kitchen fridge. The poems dramatise the fact that a kiss can make time stand still or send us into a dizzy spin: And the world all whirling Round in joy Like the dance of a dervish - from 'Kisses in the Train' by DH Lawrence The selection wouldn't be complete without a sly antidote to all this romance, which is why we've included Mary Ruefle's 'Why I Am Not A Good Kisser' with its inventory of things not to do or think about when a kiss is in the offing. Poems by Kim Addonizio, Marjorie Allen Seiffert, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Burns, William Drummond of Hawthornden, Hattie Gruenewald, DH Lawrence, Roddy Lumsden, David Mills, Shazea Quraishi, Mary Ruefle, Roberta Spear, Sara Teasdale and Jean Toomer.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This mini anthology belongs to our popular series of UK regional titles, and features poems that capture the vivid landscapes and atmospheres of the Dark and White Peaks. There's a celebration of the very particular Derbyshire tradition of well dressing, alongside poems that take us up onto the high moors and down into the tunnels under Ladybower Reservoir. At an iconic Dark Peak landmark, we encounter a raw landscape that tricks the mind into altered perceptions: It is endless, a stranded reef which seeps and surges indefinitely. Paths slip under streams; pools hover; stones become sheep become stones. - from 'Kinder Downfall, 24 April 1932' by Rob Hindle The selection is proof (if needed) that the Peak District is equal to the Lake District in its power to fire the imaginations of poets who live in it or who simply love it for its wild beauty. Katharine Towers is a poet who lives in the White Peak. Poems by Rob Hindle, Helen Mort, Alistair Noon, Mark Pajak, Peter Riley, Anna Seward, Katharine Towers, Tony Williams, River Wolton and Warda Yassin. Cover illustration by Ian Parkinson.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. There's an expression: to be comfortable in your own skin. The words contain the idea that it's possible to be at ease with yourself and your life and that there's fulfilment to be found in feeling this way. These thoughtful poems offer moments of pleasure in uncomplicated things flowers in a window box or eating toast at midnight and remind us that we don't always need to look very far to experience a sense of calm and wellbeing. The world can be a place that we know and trust: There's a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind. - from 'Meditations in an Emergency' by Cameron Awkward-Rich This is a selection to enjoy when we want to be reminded that if we look carefully, we have all we need to experience a sense of serenity and peace. Poems by Laurie Bolger, Em Gray, Paula Jennings, Vanessa Lampert, Alden Nowlan, Cameron Awkward-Rich, Sara Teasdale, Jerrold Yam, Luke Samuel Yates and Dean Young.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In this vivid selection of poems we enter museums both real and imaginary to discover a host of beguiling artefacts. Museums manage to contain whole worlds. They can show us life as it was lived in past centuries or prompt us to imagine how the future might unfold. Some of the objects in a museum may be workaday, but they have a remarkable power to express deep truths about our human lives. In the 'room of clocks' at the British Museum: Time thickens here, revolves, regards itself in mirrors; almost, each minute holds its place. - from 'Visit to the British Museum' by Frances Horovitz What characterises every museum is the ability to inspire a sense of wonder and possibility. Museums are places we should cherish and these poems demonstrate and celebrate that compelling fact. Poems by Alison Brackenbury, David Clarke, Glyn Edwards, Suzannah Evans, Helen Farish, Thomas Hardy, Frances Horovitz, Robert Minhinnick, Tom Sastry and Lesley Saunders.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The skinny and rocky coastline of Cornwall has spawned some invigorating poetry. In these ten poems including one in both English and Kernewek, or Cornish we encounter land and sea, wild ponies and a Modernist artist, alongside a hill-top 'huer' whose job is to call the fishermen when the pilchard arrive: They come, they come, that longed-for shoal, And his voice goes forth in a welcome roll Over rock and reef, over lake and land from 'The Cornish Huer' by John Harris The selection sparkles in the vivid Cornish light bringing us moments of beauty and exhilaration always with the salty tang of sea air.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This addition to our series of UK regional titles brings the drama and beauty of the Lake District landscape into glorious focus. We encounter dry-stone walls, sublime heights, lakes (of course) and experience an evening dip in the cooling waters of a tarn. The selection wouldn't be complete without a poem by Wordsworth who captures the tranquillity of a quiet valley in a moment of typically blissful contemplation: A soft eye-music of slow-waving boughs, Powerful almost as vocal harmony stay the wanderer's steps and soothe his thoughts. - from 'Aira Force Valley' by William Wordsworth The double-edged sword of tourism is also present in a sonnet which imagines what this most famous of Lakes Poets would make of the world of postcards and car parks. The poem's conclusion is a reminder that the sublime will outlive any human interference. Polly Atkin is a poet who lives and works in the Lake District. Poems by Polly Atkin, Rachael Bates, Paul Farley, Katie Hale, Matthew Hollis, Eileen Pun, Tom Rawling, Reshma Ruia, William Wordsworth and David Wright. Cover illustration by Mark A Pearce.

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. We begin on Exmoor and end with a frosted window in this glorious addition to our ever-popular series of Almanacs. On the way, we encounter wild roses and pipistrelle bats, the green-god Lud and violet lightnings during a summer storm. The twelve poems take us through the year, noticing the particular things that make each month unique and precious. Spring is heralded in a delicious poem that relishes the rhymes and sound-patterns of the year's most vibrant season: Slithery, withery Winter's away! Here comes dawny, yawny Spring sunrays, rooty, shooty, tooty daffodils bright, buttery, fluttery, butterflies light from 'Here Comes Spring' by Linda Middleton What could be better than starting each month with a poem?

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Ten Poems about Tea has a fabulous introduction by Sophie Dahl (PG with milk, no sugar) and was the brilliant idea of Picador poet Lorraine Mariner, who also works as a librarian in the Poetry Library at London's South Bank Centre. She has helped choose the poems, advised us along the way and agreed with our view that the cover of the pamphlet should feature a good, wholesome Dundee Cake rather than the more fashionable, flirtatious and ubiquitous cup cake. Tea (like Dundee Cake) will not be going out of fashion any time soon and the ten poems about it will, we hope, give your tea-time new heights of delight. Perfect for those of us for whom, to borrow from the lyrics, 'everything stops for tea'. As Kenny Knight rightly says in his poem 'Lessons in Teamaking', there was a time when, in the eyes of some, "the teapot was the centre / of the known universe". We hope that you will enjoy these poems as much as we have. No tea should be slurped from cup or saucer, we aren't fussy without them. Poems by John Agard, John Arlott, Tiffany Atkinson, John Betjeman, Eavan Boland, Sheila Hackney, Thomas Hardy, Kenny Knight, Michael Longley and Jo Shapcott. Illustrated by Jill Perry. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
