| Summary |
"In this anthology, Andrew Motion - Poet Laureate since 1999 - brings together an extraordinary range of poetic voices: familiar, strange, ancient, modern, intimate, public - always rewarding. He proves that poetry, if we let it, has the unique power to enrich our lives as it diversifies them." "The book is arranged in a series of concentric rings: Self, Home, Town, Land, Work, Love, Travel, War, Belief and Space. Each section is distinct and self-defining, but also seeks out resemblances elsewhere, creating the impression of an endlessly expanding universe. From Walt Whitman to Stevie Smith, Joseph Brodsky to Jo Shapcott, John Donne to Bob Dylan, Ben Jonson to Benjamin Zephaniah, Here to Eternity is a perfect introduction for new readers, and offers a wealth of surprising revelations to those who are already well versed."--BOOK JACKET |
