Lion Christian Poetry Collection, The

This comprehensive anthology brings together 700 poems by more than 250 poets spanning over 1000 years. It includes a high proportion of contemporary, twentieth century work drawn from around the world and to make it easy to use, it is arranged into nine thematic sections, each of which is further subdivided. The selection majors on accessibility, favouring shorter and simpler work while not neglecting the work of those rightly famous and acclaimed. Here you can find poems to reflect on in a quiet moment, poems to use on special occasions such as weddings or funerals, Christmas or Easter, love poems, poems to make you think and poems of praise.
