Worlds and lives

Worlds and Lives is an exciting, modern collection of poems that include some well-known, familiar names as well as new, current voices.

It’s different from Love and Relationships and Power and Conflict because two thirds of the poems in this new collection are published post-2000. Whilst very modern, the poems are rooted in the revolutionary spirit of the Romantics, which we hope will spark young people’s interest in poetry.

The collection is both personal and political and explores concerns about the world we live in. It also looks at relatable universal themes, including our relationship with place and ideas about home, heritage, belonging and connection.
