5.0 out of 5 stars It works!, 17 Oct 2001
Poetry reaches the parts that other reading cannot reach - and this collection will reach even those who don't usually read poetry. Daisy Goodwin has quietly become one of our most interesting, thoughtful and smile-worthy anthologists. After 101 Poems That Could Save Your Life and 101 Poems to Get You Through the Day (and Night) she has put together a third unpretentious, touching collection for stressful occasions. If your computer breaks down, or you have had a long board meeting, or your wife has just left you, or you need an 'Emotional Massage', or you simply want to be somewhere else, this little anthology will make you feel better. These are not the big, long, Victorian odes that you learnt at school, but poems that matter; poems that say what you were already thinking, better than you could say it, like a good song. Goodwin clearly has an eye for the unusual, the striking, and also for the deeply comforting familiar poem. I gave my copy immediately to a friend who needed the Advice for When Your Spirits are Low. Treat yourself, or treat a stressed friend, just for the hell of it. Apparently the next one will be '101 Poems about Men and Women' - can we stand the truth?
