Another wonderful mixed bag of poetry by writers known and unknown. Selections from Shelley, Whitman, TS Eliot Carol Ann Duffy and many more. Wonderfully curated, easy poetry reading. Always rewarding.
This book made me think of nature and inspiration and love. I really liked the poems chosen - they made me daydream and think about a different world. One in which the little things are praised. Where nature is beautiful and it can be compared to prose and poetry. Where you can find the shape of people's hearts. The title fits perfectly. I wish I could have more books like that. Simply lovely! Recommend.❤️
What a lovely collection of poems. So happy to have visited the Poetry Pharmacy in person and picked this book up…now I want all the other collections!
