The New Penguin Book of Love Poetry cover

Jon Stallworthy is a winner of the Newdigate Prize for Poetry.

An anthology of poems that represents man's changeless responses to the changeless changing seasons of his heart.Love itself might be blind, but over millennia it has inspired some of the most perceptive and visionary poetry ever written. From the fragments of Sappho, to the sonnets of Shakespeare and the Romantic verses of Byron, Keats and Shelley, right through to Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy, The New Penguin Book of Love Poetry collates and curates the very finest poems on this subject from across cultures and ages. Whether it's the burning passion of two young lovers, the steady companionship of a married couple, the unconditional love of a parent for a child or the enduring affection of lifelong friendship, this is Penguin's definitive collection of the most treasured writing on the most universal of themes.
