The Works 3 contains poems by 52 poets — one for every single week of the year. There are 7 poems by each poet which gives a fantastic variety to the book. All the major themes and forms of poetry are to be found within this chunky paperback and there is a biography of each poet at the beginning of their week. Another essential book for teachers but also a joyful celebration of the best poets of all time both classic and contemporary. Tennyson, Wordsworth and Shakespear rub shoulders with Brian Moses, Roger McGough and Brian Patten. A must have book.
