Fifty poems that successive centuries have agreed to keep make up this collectable edition, drawn from poets writing in several languages and traditions.
The anthology works as a short survey: lyric, narrative and devotional verse placed together so a reader can move from a mystic's lines to a Romantic's within a single sitting. For anyone unsure where to begin with poetry, a curated fifty is far easier to finish than a complete works, and the pieces chosen here are the ones most often quoted, taught and set to music. The edition is presented for keeping rather than for a single read.
Quick overview:
• Fifty widely anthologised poems in one presentation volume
• Work from different languages and centuries placed side by side
• A manageable starting point for readers new to verse
• A durable edition intended for gifting and for long shelf life
Suited to new poetry readers, gift buyers and collectors of anthologies, available from Boipoka.
