Poetry By Heart: A Treasury Of Poems To Read Aloud

Introduction by Andrew Motion

‘From time to time our love is like a sail and when the sail begins to alternate from tack to tack, it’s like a swallowtail . . .’

Poetry moves us when we read it but when we say or hear the words aloud it can be spellbinding. From Geoffrey Chaucer to Emily Dickinson, Emily Bronte to Benjamin Zephaniah, the poems included in this treasury have been chosen because they delight the ear as much as they do the mind. Poetry by Heart is a wonderful collection of the finest poetry ever heard.
