The Forward Book of Poetry 2020


From Shahidha Bari’s Forword…

“...poems are not just heard but felt in the shape of the words formed on our mouths, understood resonantly deep within, too.

We are all poetry people. You read the right line at the right moment and suddenly the world is illuminated with a different light. If you are searching for that line, we have confidence that you will find it. And if you ever doubted that poetry is for you, know that it takes just one poem to turn a reader into a lifelong poetry person...”

A couple of the poems I particularly liked
