I'd especially agree with Rosemary - they're my two favourite anthologies. <br /><br />And don't forget that once you find a couple you like, they might be on YouTube.

I almost picked up a Seamus Heaney book in the library, then I passed it by and now I wish I hadn't!

I will look for them in the library when I go on Wednesday. I have volumes one and two of 'Poem for the Day' and I do enjoy dipping into those.joanne foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694158807826275846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4752133508404720649.post-7455874340186418112011-09-19T08:08:34.740-07:002011-09-19T08:08:34.740-07:00Metaphysical poets are always interesting.

It's full of modern poets, Like Carol Ann Duffy, Liz Lochhead and Jo Shapcott, but also has older poets.<br /><br />A lovely book that's even more accessible is 'Poems to Last a Lifetime' edited by Daisy Goodwin which has a huge selection of poetry for everyday situations. Good luck!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4752133508404720649.post-49428747414851299472011-09-18T13:09:42.148-07:002011-09-18T13:09:42.148-07:00Thank you Bazza and Frances.
