From the anguish of unrequited love through to the love you get from your family and friends, The Bloomsbury Book of Love Poems celebrates the ups and downs of emotional attachment in a superb collection chosen by Benjamin Zephaniah.

With love poems that are tear-jerking, rib-tickling and ultimately some of the most memorable you are ever likely to come across, The Bloomsbury Book of Love Poems features work from poets as diverse as Colin McNaughton, Keats, Brian Patten and Shakespeare and truly offers something for everyone.

An ideal gift for anyone in the first throes of romance, or for those who are licking their lovestruck wounds, this beautiful little book is a treasure. Ages 7 and over. --Susan Harrison
