Poetry Is Not a Luxury

Poetry Is Not a Luxury by Anonymous

From the creator of the beloved @PoetryIsNotaLuxury Instagram account, a gorgeously wrought poetry anthology that is a gift and a guide for readers through every season of life.

'An enduring and expertly curated anthology journeying through the seasonal movements of Summer, Autumn, Winter, and SpringFrom Audre Lorde to Jean Valentine to Mosab Abu Toha - these are the poets you long to have in conversation with each other, and by some well-considered (and anonymous) miracle they have been assembled in shared rooms organized by time, and we have been granted generous entrance to listen, and to wait…' -- 'POETRY IS NOT A LUXURY has been an invaluable resource for me the last few years. And has introduced me to some of my favourite poems. Such as "Mediations in an Emergency" by Cameron Awkward-Rich and "I am the horse" by Dorothea Lasky. Poetry curation seems to be an eye for feeling. An understanding of what the moment needs, and how to provide solace or meaning.  POETRY IS NOT A LUXURY does that with incredible care in this collection. Every poem is a revelation.' -- Florence Welch
