The "Staying Alive" anthologies were among the first collections to make me really fall in love with poetry. I had previously read Staying Alive and Being Human so I had high expectations for Being Alive. It did not disappoint. The poems in this book cover a wide range of experiences and exposed me to new and diverse poets whose work I otherwise may not have read. I cannot recommend this series highly enough.
