Poetry of Love for Every Day of the Year : Volume 7

Celebrate love with this daily anthology of poetry with one entry for every day of the year. From well-known classics to modern fresh takes, Poetry of Love for Every Day of the Year explores love in all its forms. Love is such a uniquely human feeling which has made it an inexhaustible subject for writers across the ages. There are so many meanings for this one word - it can evoke friends, family, romance or a sense of home. Everyone has their own attachments and associations, which is what makes this collection so fascinating. Among the 366 poems are Shakespeare's classic sonnets, Ocean Vuong's experiences of young queer love, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's ode to her dog, Charlotte Mew dealing with loss, and much, much more. With a wide range of voices spanning across the world through many centuries, this anthology explores how love can mean so many things and how it connects us all. This is the newest title in Batsford's highly popular Poetry Anthology series, and is the perfect bedside companion for late night reading or morning meditation.
