POEMS OF LONDON

A remarkable range of poems inspired by the storied city, from its teeming medieval streets to the multicultural metropolis of today. Poets from Shakespeare and Donne to Wordsworth and Blake to Sylvia Plath provide their views of London alongside tributes by notable visitors including Arthur Rimbaud and Samuel Beckett. Here, too, are poetic contributions by an array of immigrants and the children of immigrants, including Linton Kwesi Johnson, Fleur Adcock, Patience Agbabi, and Booker Prize-winner Bernardine Evaristo.
