'Every poem is a revelation' - Florence Welch

From the creator of the beloved @PoetryIsNotaLuxury Instagram account, a gorgeous poetry anthology that is a gift and a guide for readers through every season of life.

In Summer, you'll find lush landscapes and love poems for weddings and anniversaries, alongside expressions of joy and exhilaration. Autumn ushers in nostalgic poems about home and family and friendship, nesting and gratitude. Turn to Winter should you require lyrics about loneliness or an ode to comfort. Spring is packed full of verse celebrating new beginnings and all that the future might hold.

Each poem has been chosen from centuries of verse from around the world, with an emphasis on living poets. Friends old and new await, with selections from Rita Dove, Victoria Chang, Ross Gay, Naomi Shihab Nye, C.D. Wright, Eileen Myles, Ada Limon, Ilya Kaminsky, Jos Charles and more.

From the heights of new love to the furrows of sorrow, from special occasions to a morning pick-me-up, there is something here for everyone, in any season of need.
