The collection Poems for Travellers takes you to distant and nearby places in the company of some of the world's greatest poets, such as Walt Whitman, John Keats, and Christina Rossetti. It is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library series, which includes stunning classic pocket-sized books with ribbons. These beautiful books are ideal as gifts or for any book lover to enjoy.

As the internationally acclaimed author Paul Theroux writes in his introduction: "Here we have a collection of travel poetry composed by true travelers, weekend tourists, dreamers, swindlers, visionaries, brave explorers, and homebound rebels. It achieves what poetry does best – inspires and comforts, reminding us of who we are, where we have been, and where we would like to go next."
