Reviews for Poem for the Day: One

Turn to any month in Albery's splendid anthology for immediate proof of its imaginative mix of poems old and new, each with brief, often unexpected details about the author and other poets. A truly international collection, the poems range from Lao-tzu writing in the 6th century BC to a good assortment of moderns, from John Masefield, John Betjeman and Dylan Thomas to thirtysomething writers Kathleen Jamie and Simon Armitage.
