Ten Poems about Music: The Blue Album | Selected by: Cerys Matthews

Some poems capture how music makes us feel ? the irresistible urge to dance is brought vividly to life, for example, and there's a merry gathering of poets and musicians with assorted instruments. This selection spans the genres and the centuries ? evidence (if needed) that music has been with us since we lived in caves and that it may well be true that we sang before we could speak.

Poems by Mandy Coe, Hafiz, Adam Horovitz, Michael Horovitz, Jehane Markham, Roger McGough, Kei Miller, Kim Moore, Siegfried Sassoon and Belinda Zhawi. Cover illustration by Melissa Lhoirit. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
