Poetry

Love and poetry just naturally go together--and this collection celebrates romance in its many facets, from first blush to the comedy of lust to profound loss. It includes ancient favorites like the Song of Solomon; recent masterpieces by the Irish Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney and the British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion; and classics from WH Auden, Carol Ann Duffy, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Jacques Prevert. Wonderfully illustrated throughout, this is a handsome tome to keep and an even better one to share and give.
