This book is lovely in ways I cannot describe. I've discovered poems in it that have moved me in ways that I've never felt moved before. Every shade of loving, in the before and aftermath of it, the betrayal, the pain, the longing, the physical and emotional parts of it, the heft of it and the lightness of it - it's all in this book. Love that lasts a lifetime and love that barely makes it past one night in bed - it's all here. If you read one book of poems in life, make it this one. This book is lovely in ways I cannot describe.

After my recent reading experiences I needed poetry to revitalise me and this was a fantastic anthology Byron,Shakespeare,Keats,Dickinson to name a few E.E Cummings TS. Elliot all fantastic And one of my absolute favourites to my surprise is a Carol Ann Duffy Poem. Which is so rare for me but it was so emotive and brilliant And the breakup poems in this are my favourite I have no clue what that says about me but they were immaculate ✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
