Title: `One hundred and one favourite poems. Which one will be yours?'
Review: This is one of my poetry books that fairly bristles with Post-it notes. So many wonderful contemporary poems: each one chosen by the poet who wrote it as his or her favourite.Consider these verses from different poems:`Set your sights and keep them fixedSet your sights on highLet no-one steal your dreamsYour only limit is the sky.'Or`Smile at your blunders, laugh at my own.This isn't right, I should be at home.Under the duvet, safe from attack.Changing your mind, changing it back.'This anthology is full of delightful verse: a mix of the humorous, the descriptive and the emotional. Each one is a wonderful example of the individual poet's craft.A personal favourite? How can I choose just one? There is a delightful little poem that appeals today:`My wellingtons swishThrough the leaves.I am four years old again, at playIn the crumpled wrapping paperOf the year.'A wonderful addition to the poetry bookshelf.Jennifer Cameron-Smith
