The Music of What Happens

This is a collection of poems which first appeared in The Listener between 1965 and 1980. It's edited by Derwent May, the literary editor during that time. It's not particularly for children but there is much here that poetry liking children (or kids) or 'new adults' would relish - the three poems by Stevie Smith, for instance, At the Dressing-Table Mirror by George Szirtes, Norman MacCaig's Gulls on a Hill Loch. Many of these poems have been published elsewhere since The Listener but you'll be an avid collector if you've got all of them. An investment for yourself which you can share with anyone.
