We're on the road with The Nation's Favourite Poems of Journeys, another in this tremendous series expanded from the original Nation's Favourite Poems to include love, childhood and 20th century collections. Like the earlier anthologies, the reach of Journeys embraces classic and contemporary. Be cast adrift in the heaving sea (from Lear's 'Owl and the pussy cat' to Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'), travel to extraordinary foreign lands, be reminded of home by Grace Nichols, sit in the rain behind Louis Macneice's 'clearing, blurring, clearing' in a moment of suspension on the A40, return sun burnished from your adventure to greet, in Laurie Lee's words, 'the pale, domestic kis of Kent' and grieve over the final leavetaking, the final journey.
