Publisher's Summary
The US edition of the best-selling The Poetry Pharmacy.
A beautiful collection of curated poems each individually selected to provide hope, comfort, and inspiration - for all of life's most difficult moments.
Sometimes only a poem will do. These poetic prescriptions and wise words of advice are tailored to those moments in life when we need them most, from general glumness to news overload, and from infatuation to losing the spark. Whatever you’re facing, there is a poem here that will do the trick.
This pocket-size companion presents the most essential fixes in William Sieghart’s poetic dispensary - those that, again and again, have shown themselves to hit the spot. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even an excess of ego - or whether you are seeking hope, comfort, inspiration, or excitement - The Poetry Remedy will provide just the poem you need in that moment.
What the critics say
"Truly a marvelous collection.... There is balm for the soul, fire for the belly, a cooling compress for the fevered brow, solace for the wounded, an arm around the lonely shoulder - the whole collection is a matchless compound of hug, tonic and kiss." (Stephen Fry)
"The book is delightful; it rightly resituates poetry in relation to its biggest and most serious task: helping us to live and die well." (Alain de Botton)
"Healing for the heart and soul. I keep my copy with the brandy and aspirin." (Jeanette Winterson, author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit)
