Whether it's a cosy bedtime story with family, an intimate moment with a loved one, or a performance to a group, a poet’s words hold even more power and meaning when spoken.

With a wide and diverse range of poets including the 14th-century Persian poet Hafiz and Mary Oliver in the 21st century, old favourites such as Emily Dickinson and Samuel Taylor Coleridge to more recent voices such as Lemn Sissay, the obvious classics such as Wordsworth’s Daffodils and slightly more offbeat fare like Spike Milligan, there's something for everyone in this book: poems that are funny, sad, consoling, uplifting and everything in between. If there are any particular favourites you wish to return to there is a Poet's Index provided at the end of this anthology for ease of exploration.
