Here to Eternity by Sir Andrew Motion

A rich spectrum of poetic voices - ancient and modern, new and familiar - arranged concentrically under different headings: Self, Home, Town, Work, Land, Love, Travel, War, Belief and Space. Each section seeks out resemblances and echoes elsewhere, creating the impression of an expanding universe, from Wallace Stevens to Stevie Smith, Joseph Brodsky to Jo Shapcott, Bob Dylan to Dylan Thomas, Ben Jonson to Benjamin Zephaniah...
