Opis

Birds are the most obvious wild things we have around us. They are much watched & much loved, not least by poets. Bird poetry is as old as British poetry itself, & a remarkable number of poets have written poems about birds. In this anthology Simon Armitage & Tim Dee gather together the best of the past & the present.

Recenzje

Powerful. A rich and sustaining larder, a marvellously realized sourcebook of flights of feathered fancy Guardian
