Taking its inspiration from Shakespeare's idea of the 'seven ages'
of a human life, this new anthology brings together the best-loved
poems in English to inspire, comfort and delight readers for a
lifetime. Beginning with babies, the book is divided into sections
on childhood, growing up, making a living and making love, family
life, getting older, and approaching death, ending with poems of
mourning and commemoration. Ranging from Chaucer to Carol Ann
Duffy, via Shakespeare, Keats, and Lemn Sissay, this book offers
something for each of those moments in life - whether falling in
love, finding your first grey hair or saying your final goodbyes -
when only a poem will do.
