Description

Staying Alive is an international anthology of 500 life-affirming poems that find strength in the human and spiritual experience. At a time when much of the world feels unreal, these poems offer a powerful connection to our aspirations and humanity, helping us stay alive to the world and true to ourselves. These poems are often turned to in times of need, whether for comfort in loss or affirmation in love, or when facing other extremes and anxieties. They celebrate the ordinary miracle and explore the everyday moments that make life worth living. A strong poem is not just for crisis, but for everyday life too, offering a way to face and navigate daily change and disruption. This landmark anthology has reached a wider readership than any other of its kind, and is a significant contribution to the history of literary publishing.
