Bedside Companion : Poetry of Love for Every Day of the Year

Celebrate all things love with this daily anthology of love poems. With one for every day of the year, there’s something for everyone to love. Love is such a uniquely human feeling that people have been writing about it since the invention of writing. There are many facets to this one word: do you think family, pet, home, romance, marriage? Everyone has their own attachments and associations, which makes a collection like this so fascinating. Among the 366 poems are Shakespeare’s classic sonnets, Ocean Vuong’s experiences of queer young love, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ode to her dog, Charlotte Mew dealing with loss, and much, much more. There is a wide range of voices from across the ages, expressing what love means to them. This is the newest anthology in Batsford’s highly successful A Day series and the perfect bedside companion for late night reading or morning meditating. 480 sidor Mått (B/H/R) 161/239/41
