This book features 366 poems, one for each day of the year (including leap years). Chosen for their narrative, resonance and rhythm, these are poems to learn by heart or treasure and enjoy. Poets included range from Yeats, Shakespeare, Housman and Kipling, to contemporary poets such as Wendy Cope, Carol Ann Duffy, Maya Angelou and Thom Gunn.
Poem for the Day was the brainchild of the social inventor and author Nicholas Albery, who tragically was killed in a car accident as Poem for the Day Two was getting off the ground. Royalties from the books go to Nicholas Albery's charitable foundations, under the banner of the Institute for Social Inventions.
