Poems from Many Cultures: Poetry Collection 4

This is the fourth book in Waters' excellent 'Poetry Collection' series. We are taken on a tour all over the globe, from Croatia and the Caribbean to Russia and Australia listening to voices from many cultures on many subjects. Animals, families, issues and identity - there is a poem for every mood and lots of food for thought. Fiona Waters' selection successfully brings together different forms, themes, experiences and pictures from all over the world. It also brings cultures together and reflects the spirit of Rosemary Dobson's poem 'Folding the Sheets': 'You and I will fold the sheets / Advancing towards each other / From Burma, from Lapland. / From India where the sheets have been washed in the river / And pounded upon stones: / Together we will match the corners.'
