Whether you are nine, nineteen or ninety, Gyles Brandreth will be your guide to not only the wonders of poetry - and there are many - but also its practical uses in everyday life.
After all, a poem can: comfort, challenge, be a friend, stretch your vocabulary, help you sleep, break the ice, find you a lover, be utter nonsense, console, make you laugh - or cry.
For readers of poetry both young and old, this is a beautiful collection to return to again and again.
