Editorial Reviews
Sunday Times, June 23 2002
[Staying Alive] is a relvelation. Buy it. Leave it around the house. Give it to friends. It could keep them alive.
Philip Pullman, Children's writer
'Staying Alive'is a magnificent anthology. I can't think of any other anthology that has introduced me to so many vivid and memorable poems.
Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate
Everyone who cares about poetry should own this book.
Customer Reviews
Dumbed down for an American audience
Clearly aimed at the not-so-bright American who likes to think he/she is cultured. Many American poets and spellings. The cover of a miserable girl is off putting enough!
You are better off with Penguin's "Poetry for Life".
truly alive
a brick packed dense with all that is valuable; thought, beauty, nature, humanity, love, friendship, redemption.
This book is an escape door.
Beautiful...
My boyfriend bought me this book as he loved it. I've not really got in to poetry before, and wasn't aware of many poets names or styles etc. This book opened up a new interest for me, and therefore recommend this to everyone else out there.. If anyone is looking for a good gift for someone??
