The Nation's Favourite - Twentieth Century Poems (Paperback)

The plaudits given to The Nation's Favourite Poems apply equally to this companion volume, covering nature, suburbia, life and death, war, belief, sex, love and much else besides. Admired poems of the modern age, such as Larkin's 'An Arundel Tomb' and Stevie Smith's 'Not Waving But Drowning', rub shoulders with more recent pieces that are deservedly winning a reputation for themselves - such as Carol Anne Duffy's flawless sonnet 'Prayer' and Jenny Joseph's mildly cook-snooking 'Warning'. (Kirkus UK)

This lovely book of poetry brings together over 100 of the most celebrated and cherished poems of the 20th century. Including poets as diverse as John Betjeman and Ted Hughes, Siegfried Sassoon and Allan Ahlberg, and subjects from all avenues of life - war, family life, love, death, religion, the countryside, animals and comedy - the whole breadth of the nation's life during the 20th century is encapsulated here. Compiled and edited by Griff Rhys Jones as part of the successful The Nations Favourite Poems series, this book brings together the wealth of new and innovative poetry styles that flourished in the 20th Century.
