EVERYDAY POET: POEMS TO LIVE BY

Each poem in this anthology has been carefully selected by editor Deborah Alma, the world's first and only emergency poet, who travels in her 1970s ambulance to schools, libraries and festivals to offer consultations and prescribe poems as cures for various maladies: to comfort, purge melancholy, provide hope and give courage. Whether work is getting you down, you need a moment to relax, you're having trouble sleeping or need a little romantic guidance, this book has a poem for you.
