People are saying it more and more: this is the year I get back into poetry.
Picked this compilation up second hand from Sappho Books. This is from a project in the 90s which displayed poetry in the Underground, and this is the collection of poems used.
It's a good yardstick of public-friendly, popular poetry. I enjoyed quite a few of these. More than anything, I am ransacking it for teaching ideas, and have made good use of my sticky notes in case I need to do a quick poetry lesson plan on my back foot in the future.
