Silver Medal Winner for Poetry at the 2022 Nautilus Book Awards
💙 For all lovers of poetry, languages and love in all its forms
💚 Featuring original poems written in a variety of languages, accompanied by English translations and commentaries
💖 Explore endangered and unique languages, from Akkadian to Ancient Greek, Yiddish to Yoruba
💛 Unlock the many facets of love across two and a half millennia through the timeless words of some of the world's greatest poets
💔 Flick through chapters themed around topics like unlikely love stories to impossible love
💜 Perfect for the poetry, language or book lover in your life - including self-love for you
The introduction to the book and each chapter have been very helpful to a novice poetry reader like myself, and the inclusion of poems in their original language alongside the English translations are an added bonus for anyone interested in languages and the art of translation. The range of cultures, eras and attitudes to love is impressive and whether dipping in for a single poem or reading whole sections at a time it is a delight.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
Tackling the ever popular and emotional topic of the love, the poems are exquisitely composed and a joy to read and reflect on.

Praise for Chris' McCabe's anthologies:
If you're interested in languages and poetry you'll love this book. It's a perfect mix of the original poetry with translation and commentary - very insightful as to the cultures of the languages featured. One of those books that should be much more publicised and valued that you feel lucky to find.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
This is a wonderful anthology. To realise that many of the poems' languages will soon have no native speakers and thus their world in all its richness and diversity is lost for ever, is just awful. If Extinction Rebellion is important to you, buy the book and act now!

Chris McCabe is National Poetry Librarian at Southbank Centre's National Poetry Library, where he launched the Endangered Poetry Project in 2017, a major project to collect poetry written in the world's disappearing languages - the basis for his first anthology with Chambers, Poems from the Edge of Extinction (2019). Shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award and the Republic of Consciousness Prize, his work has been described by The Guardian as 'an impressively inventive survey of English in the 21st Century'. His previously published work crosses artforms and genres including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, drama and visual art.
