This collection is designed to lift your mood and offers poetic help whenever it may be required. Other poetry collections include The Everyday Poet: Poems to Live By.

An anthology of poems dealing with all of life’s stresses, from seizing the day to coping with grief. There are old favourites to contemporary unknowns. Deborah Alma introduces poetry to the streets and festivals in an old ambulance, a great way to literally ‘take’ poetry to the people. We all have our favourite poets who we tend to return to, but an anthology like this gives us a sample of a new poet to go and explore more fully, eg Meg Cox, Kaylin Haught. The poems are chosen to uplift or console during life’s challenges. Handing for keeping by the bed in case of emergency.
This is a fantastic collection of poems for any situation. It's been designed to lift people's spirits.
