A year of reading aloud : 52 poems to learn and love
2018
Books, Manuscripts
Enjoy the magic of reading aloud and switch off from the distractions of life through the contemplation of poetry. Reciting poetry is a tradition as old as time. Ancient Greeks used it for awakening the mind and shaping character. Memorising poetry exercises the brain and gives it strength to learn and remember other information. It is also innately mindful as it calls us back to focus on where we are right now. It makes us pay attention and helps us inhabit the moment. Each of the 52 poems in this book is accompanied by an explanation of its key messages along with some insight about the poet.
