This is the first book in a new series of pocket-sized poetry books
for travelers and poetry lovers who seek inspiration while on a
bus, subway train, or taxi, or while waiting for a museum to open.
Here is the poetry of London, from the up-beat rap-poetry of
Benjamin Zephaniah to Wordsworth's dawn sigh. From the catchpenny
verses of Oranges and Lemons and London Bridge is Falling Down, to
the ecstatic visions of Keats, Milton, and Blake. From the first
lines of Anglo-Saxon verse to lines retrieved from a bar last year.
It's a collection full of irony, delight, and personal grief. Some
other poets included are Shakespeare. T.S. Eliot, Alan Jenkins,
John Betjeman, Bacon, Wilde, and Blake.
