Book description
The Poetry of Earth is Never Dead is an anthology of ecology poems
chosen and carefully ordered by the pupils of Monkton Combe Senior
School, Bath, the winners of Anthologise. Inspired by the school's own
plans for a sustainable future, these are poems that remind us of our
environment, of how we see, affect and are ourselves part of, the
natural world. Here you'll find poetry from all places, all ages, and of
all colours, shapes and sizes, from John Keats to Jo Shapcott, Seamus
Heaney to Virgil, and of course, Carol Ann Duffy herself. These are
poems that have inspired the pupils, or made them look at their
environment in a new way - most importantly they are poems the pupils
loved. Monkton Combe Senior School are the winners of Anthologise, the
Poet Laureate's national poetry anthology competition
