'In a world in which we tend to look to what's new, to cutting-edge
science and to medical breakthroughs for hope in better health,
there's something marvellous in the realisation that one of the
most beautiful and longest-lasting cures has been here all along -
on the internet, on our bookshelves, under our noses. Words - down
the centuries, over the ether, across the miles - have power to
steady us, to make us feel better.' the Observer The ancient
tradition of learning and reciting poetry is renowned for its
wellbeing benefits - from strengthening the mind and boosting
creativity to improving memory. The practice is as valuable as ever
in our busy modern day lives, allowing us to focus on the rhythm of
the present moment, slow down and switch off. A Year of Reading
Aloud celebrates the power of spoken word with a poem to learn and
love for each week of the year. Drawing both on familiar favourites
and new voices, from Sylvia Plath and Maya Angelou to Instapoets
Nikita Gill and Yrsa Daley-Ward - this is a book that will capture
your imagination through verse and help you fall back in love with
this beautiful art form. Includes a foreword by Rachel Kelly,
bestselling author of 52 Small Steps to Happiness and Black
Rainbow.
