A POEM TO READ ALOUD EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR - LI...

A handsome anthology of 366 poems from around the world and throughout history  all especially
selected for reading aloud  with one glorious poem for every day of the year.   Everyone
benefits from reading aloud  whether it's a bedtime story with Dad or Granny  an intimate
moment with a loved one  or a performance to a group of people. When spoken  the poet¿s words
hit us more powerfully and meaningfully  and what's more  it's good for our health: mindfully
reading aloud helps with relaxation  improves working memory and aids vocabulary acquisition. 
With a wide and diverse range of poets including the 14th-century Persian poet Hafiz and Mary
Oliver in the 21st century  old favourites such as Emily Dickinson and more recent voices such
as Lemn Sissay  the obvious classics such as Wordsworth¿s Daffodils and slightly more offbeat
fare like Spike Milligan  there's something for everyone in this book: poems that are funny 
sad  consoling  uplifting and everything in between.   Whether you're a teacher enthralling a
class of children or a carer entertaining a group of pensioners  if you're looking for a
reading for a special occasion or a powerful piece for a performance  you'll find everything
you need here. It's the perfect book to dip into daily to share a poem with anyone  to hear the
true beauty and rhythm of words and the magic they can weave.
