In Poems to Live Your Life By, Chris Riddell, former Children's Laureate and political cartoonist for the Observer, has selected his very favourite classic and modern poems about life, death and everything in between.
This beautiful collection includes forty-six poems and is divided into sections covering: musings, youth, family, love, imaginings, nature, war and endings – with famous poems, old and new, and a few surprises. Classic verses from William Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, W. B. Yeats and Christina Rossetti sit alongside poems from Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Carol Ann Duffy, Neil Gaiman and Roger McGough to create a truly enriching, wonderful collection.

Beautiful selection, beautifully read
Samuel West reads the poems beautifully. The selection is wonderful. Only quibble is that the chapters are not labelled with the titles of the poems so it’s hard to find favourites.
