Drawing inspiration from Shakespeare's idea of the "seven ages" of human life, this new anthology gathers the most beloved poems in English, in order to inspire, provide solace, and delight readers for a lifetime. Starting with babies, the book is divided into sections for childhood, adulthood, work and love, family life, the process of aging, and the approach of death, concluding with poems of mourning and memory. Covering from Chaucer to Carol Ann Duffy, through Shakespeare, Keats, and Lemn Sissay, this book offers something for every moment in life—whether it's romantic love, the discovery of the first gray hair, or bidding farewell—when only a poem can express the feelings.
