Description
Lifesaving Poems is an anthology of poems carefully curated by Anthony Wilson. Inspired by Seamus Heaney's question about how many poems he could recall responding to over a lifetime, Wilson began compiling his own list, selecting one poem per poet that moved him and one he couldn't live without. The result is a unique gathering of poems, each accompanied by Wilson's personal commentary on why he chose it. This anthology showcases the work of 30 poets from Europe and beyond, including John Ashbery, Elizabeth Bishop, and Sylvia Plath, among others. With its thoughtful selection and engaging annotations, Lifesaving Poems offers a fresh perspective on some of poetry's most enduring voices.
