About this product
Product Information
The longest poem in Short and Sweet is thirteen lines and the shortest has no lines at all. Arranged as a kind of countdown, the anthology illustrates how the short poem can tell a story, capture an instance, present a complex argument and be packed with as much passion, wisdom and music as we might desire from a piece of writing. In his characteristically quick-witted introduction, 'Precious Little', Simon Armitage contemplates how poets over several centuries have practised brevity in their work.Product Identifiers

The title says it all!
An inspiring selection of short poems by some of our favourite authors; Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, Emily Bronte, Robert Frost, Stevie Smith, Thomas Hardy, Philip Larkin, John Keats, Wordsworth and many more. The collection becomes more succinct as it progresses until becoming just a title! Its a delightfully well chosen anthology by the wry and wonderful Richard Armitage, One of our most skilful and entertaining contemporary poets. Highly recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
