Format:Paperback
This is a moving and inspirational collection of poems brought together by its editor to raise money for Afghan refugees.
I particularly like the comments of the people who have chosen the poems.They give another dimension and insight into some of the extraordinary choices.
The poems have been chosen by various people in the arts and other high profile positions, this gives the book a richer flavour, mixing familiar favourites with new and unusual choices.
It is a book to return to and has become a good friend.
