Im sure this book deserves a higher rating but the sample finishes before you are given the opportunty to read any of the poems. If a reader is familiar with the poems included then they probably have them already and dont need this book! samples of the poetry please and not pages of introduction and list of content.
About the author
Laura Barber is not a poet, but she has spent the last few years completely immersed in verse. As the editor of Penguin's Poems for Life and Poems for Love, she has lived, breathed and dreamed poetry - in libraries and on lawns, on beaches and in bed - and can testify to the profound effect that poetry can have on your life. More prosaically, she also publishes contemporary literature and is writing a book. She lives in London.
