I can't pretend to be a connoisseur of poetry. I studied some at GCSE/A-level and the majority of the time I can't say I enjoyed it.

But this was just so different. I just felt a weird serenity over me whilst I read it, as if the rest of the world was muffled. The writing was beautiful. My favourite of the selected poems was The Moon and the Yew Tree.

The edition itself was lovely too. Very soft and bendy!

I am now interested to know whether it is just her writing that I love, or whether I have developed an interest in poetry - something I would never ever have thought possible.
