Poetry by Heart

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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 Brontë to Benjamin Zephaniah, the poems included in this treasury have been chosen because they delight the ear as much as they do the mind.

Familiar poems and almost unknown poems. Love poems and war poems. Funny poems and heartbroken poems. Poems that re-create the world we know and poems written on the dark side of the moon.

Poetry by Heart is an essential collection of over 200 poems, from Geoffrey Chaucer to Emily Dickinson, from Christina Rossetti to Benjamin Zephaniah, all carefully chosen for their suitability for learning and reciting. This is an anthology which celebrates the age-old pleasure of reciting poems—an anthology for all ages to treasure.
