The English language is rich in poetry; yet how many people are
aware that many of our stock phrases and familiar sayings have
their origins as lines of poetry? Ink-stained poet Jamie Grant set
out to uncover a selection of these enduring lines in the works of
English-language poets all the way from Chaucer and Shakespeare up
to the present day. Some of the lines are well known; others should
be; and others again might be enjoyable surprises. These lines, and
the quirky biographical and critical comments that accompany them,
are an invitation to readers, from the well versed to the merely
curious, to rediscover the pleasure of reading poetry, and to look
at 100 of the world's best poets from a unique perspective.
