murtle Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 For reasons unknown to me I am full of knowledge about anything... so I'm looking for someone who knows *stuff* about poetry today's search is for a poetry book for a guy to a girl (who he'd like to be special) but that will help them learn about poetry too... any help would be hugely appreciated...cause whilst I like poetry I buy things that I like randomly...and buy things I think I'll like and then realise I don't...but I don't have any favourite poets.... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spins4me Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Just off the top of my head - The Nations Favourite Love Poems - a wide range of styles, some modern, some classic. maybe if the guy has time and inclination he could mark those that say de scribe howhe is feeling or that mean something special. It's from BBC books £4.99 in paperback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenydd Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Sorry - can't really help on that one. Personally, I'd go for something like Wilferd Owen, but I doubt that would have the desired effect in these circumstances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
