Poem for everyone

This is a wonderful treasury containing poems about all kinds of people, for all kinds of people, written by all kinds of people. Including a whole host of poets such as Ted Hughes, Charles Causley, Christina Rossetti, Maya Angelou, and Roger McGough, this beautifully-illustrated treasury is a celebration of humans in all their diversity. Here, you'll find people sad and happy, busy and idle, young and old - engaged in all manner of activities, at their best and at their worst. Michael Harrison and Christopher Stuart-Clark have edited a large number of classic poetry anthologies for OUP, including the best-selling "One Hundred Years of Poetry for Children". This is a fantastic selection of poetry, including both old favourites and less familiar poems, from a host of well-known names. It is beautifully illustrated throughout in black and white by a range of artists including Laura Stoddart. Michael Harrison and Christopher Stuart-Clark live in Oxfordshire.
