Description
"The perfect desert island book." Adam Nicolson"Reading a poem gives us a glimpse of past and future possibilities, other worlds and other lives.
It makes a gift of unfamiliar words, and refreshes parts of the mind that other art forms cannot reach..."Charlotte Moore, a writer and former English teacher, has loved poetry all her life.
Keen to be able to read and talk about poems with others, she set up a weekly poetry club for anyone interested to join her round her fireplace. This book brings together a selection of the Tuesday Afternoon Poetry Club's favourite poems, some well-known, some less so.
The poems are grouped into themes - from home and lovers, to war and the planets - each framed with a little context from Charlotte and delightful insights from members of the group. The Magic Hour offers a source of lifelong pleasure and nourishment, with words to delight and console, while reminding us of moments of personal significance.
It demonstrates how we can all benefit from a dose of poetry in our daily lives.
