Published to tie in with National Poetry Week, this collection is a witty anthology designed as an antidote to the stresses of 21st century living, with poems by writers as diverse as Ovid and Wendy Cope, as well as previously unpublished poets.

And for anyone who feels vaguely guilty about settling down in front of the TV instead of taking cafe society by storm then turn to the poems in the 'Not Tonight' section. From life's major crises to its minor irritations. There are poems for ancient miseries like toothache and relationship problems to those for more modern afflictions such as dieting, driving tests and the computer helpline. The poems here include both classics and contemporary works.
