Poets Pick Their FavouritePoems.
Set your sights and keep them fixed
Set your sights on high
Let no-one steal your dreams
Your only limit is the sky.
Let No-One Steal Your Dreams is Paul Cookson's favourite poem. Jez Alborough chooses his poem about an irrepressible cough, Stewart Henderson is on a flight from Ecuador to Mars, Valerie Bloom shivers from 'de cold' and Angela Topping follows a witch in the supermarket, buying toad ice cream.
A hundred and one poets have each chosen on of their own poems, and in this varied and very personal collection, they explain why the poems are important and special to them.
There are poems that will make you laugh out loud, poems which make you think and others that are highly-charged and emotional. Each poet gives their reasons for choosing their favourite, and this fabulous collection offers a fascinating insight into the minds of some our best contemporary poets, such as John Agard, Wendy Cope, Roger McGough, Gareth Owen, Michael Rosen and Kevin Crossley-Holland.
One hundred and one favourite poems. Which one will be yours?
