A rich spectrum of poetic voices - ancient and modern, new and familiar - arranged concentrically under different headings: Self, Home, Town, Work, Land, Love, Travel, War, Belief and Space. Each section seeks out resemblances and echoes elsewhere, creating the impression of an expanding universe, from Wallace Stevens to Stevie Smith, Joseph Brodsky to Jo Shapcott, Bob Dylan to Dylan Thomas, Ben Jonson to Benjamin Zephaniah...

Here To Eternity in a beautiful repackage of this wonderfully accessible selection chosen by former Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion.
