Favourite Love Poems

By: Abse, Dannie

A celebration of love with a collection of our favourite poems A celebration of love with a collection of our favourite love poems. From the Song of Solomon, Catullus and Ovid, to recent masterpieces by the Irish Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney and the British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion. With favourites from WH Auden, Carol Ann Duffy, Federico Garcia Lorca and Jacques Prevert, this is a comprehensive and beautiful collection to treasure. From the thrill of a new romance to the knowing celebration of an enduring one, from the comedy of lust to the tragedy of profound loss, celebrated poets of past centuries and renowned modern ones confess their love, or beg for it or rage against it, sometimes with humour and often with elegance. Wonderfully illustrated throughout, this is a handsome tome to keep and an even better one to gift to a loved one.
