Description
From Catullus and Li Bai to Wendy Cope and Ocean Vuong—a pocket-sized treasury of tiny, jewel-like poems (works of twelve lines and fewer) from around the world and through the ages.
Dip into this inspired assortment of concise masterpieces, and draw out—a fragment of Sappho from ancient Greece, a perfect haiku from Japan; a brief nature poem by John Clare, Robert Frost, Ted Hughes or Boris Pasternak; a compact love poem by Alexander Pushkin or Anne Bradstreet, Robert Herrick or Carol Ann Duffy; a miniature story by Hardy, Rumi or Roethke; a pithy meditation by Wang Wei, Emily Dickinson, Tennyson or Lorca. Dip again, and discover the compressed wit of Dorothy Parker and Ogden Nash; contemporary poets Simon Armitage and Moniza Alvi at their most succinct.
Short poems in very odd shapes from Apollinaire and Vaclav Havel... So few lines, so much variety—epitaphs and epigrams; couplets and quatrains; lyrics, limericks and lullabies—go on, dip again.
