A Poem For Every Day of the Year is a magnificent collection of 366 poems compiled by Allie Esiri, one to share on every day of the year. Reflecting the changing seasons and linking to events on key dates – funny for April Fool's Day, festive for Christmas – these poems are thoughtful, inspiring, peaceful, energetic, upbeat, motivating, and empowering! Perfect for reading aloud and sharing with all the family, it is bursting at the seams with familiar favourites and exciting new discoveries. T.S.Eliot, John Betjeman, Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare and Christina Rossetti sit alongside Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes, Carol Ann Duffy, and Kae Tempest. This warm and soulful book is the perfect gift that will last the whole year, with a little bit of magic to read every day. 'If you feel as though your life is lacking a bit of poetry, this is an excellent place to start' – Best Poetry Books of the Year, The Times Review: Lovely book - This is a lovely book. It was given as a gift the recipient was very happy with it. Review: Lovely anthology that in the main is child friendly - I saw this book in Waterstones and instantly fell in love with it. Cheaper and delivered to the door made my choice of purchase obvious. This book comes after the partner book "A Poem for every night of the Year". The book is, in the main, child friendly (maybe 7+) , but prepare for lots of conversations for some of them and they're probably more read to children rather than read by them. Content is a little trickier than the night book. Lovely range of silliness to quite serious topics from a broad spectrum of poets meaning you can expose yourself and your children to appropriate poetry choices that you may never have read before. The book is a lovely reminder of the importance of poetry and challenging language experienced by children growing up. Having a poem a day means that you can always get some guidance for what to read. There are very well and simply written introductory paragraphs for each daily entry that help provide context for the choice. Open a page and you get a wash of contentedness having read the choice for the evening. A great read at any time of the day to delve into and explore whatever the date.

Beautiful Book of Poety
This book contains a poem for every day and they are such lovely poems, reflecting something of life. Even poems I am not overly keen on still have something to challenge me, nothing is wasted.

Great Gift for Mom
This has been a great gift for several people including mom. A different poem for every day of the year. This gives us something to talk about that is new and different.

Gedichte für jeden Tag
Obwohl ich mit deutsch als Muttersprache aufgewachsen bin, wächst meine Liebe zur englischen Sprache von Jahr zu Jahr und mittlerweile lege ich mir den gröten Teil der Bücher die ich lese in englischer Originalsprache zu, von daher mussten es also auch Gedichte für jeden Tag in englisch sein. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Das Cover ist liebevoll gestaltet, und der Ihalt ist ebenso liebevoll ausgewählt. Wobei ich mich hier tatsächlich auf die Gedischte beziehe. Allie Esiri hat einen beeindruckenden Sammelband verschiedenster Gedidichte zusammengestellt, der die verschiedensten Jahrhunderte der Dichtkunst umfasst und dabei genau meinen Geschmack trifft. Wer neben einer wundervoll vielfältigen Auswahl von Gedichten mit informativen kleinen Infotexten die einem das verstehen des Gedichts wirklich erleichtern aber auch schön gestaltete Seiten sucht ist hier tatsächlich falsch. Während der Einband durch ein optisches Fest begeistert hat man sich im Buch selbst auf die Texte konzentriert, die mit der Schönheit ihrer Wortgewallt überzeugen. Ein wirklich empfehlenswertes Buch um den Alltag zu entschleunigen, braucht man doch bei richtigem Gebrauch ein ganzes Jahr zur Lektüre, das neben lesenswerten Gedichten auch noch hier und da eine nützliche Information bereit hält. Sehr zu empfehlen ist an dieser Stelle auch der Gegenpart zu diesem Buch "A Poem For Every Night Of The Year" auf das man diese Bewertung nahtlos übertragen kann.
