First LinesEdited by Jon Stallworthy
Did you know
Jon Stallworthy has collected verses written in youth - often the very first preserved poems - by British, Irish, American and Commonwealth writers. The choice is governed by more than curiosity value: each piece is notable for its imagery, form or wit. The intention is to show what young writers have done that is durable and excellent, as a measure of what might be done today. The book demonstrates the necessary disciplines that come before real poetry and the delights those disciplines yield.
