Poetry Please: Love Poems by Various (Faber & Faber, 2016)
Poetry
Some of my favourites love poems are those penned by Robert Burns, William Shakespeare and John Donne, though a dash of Wendy Cope or Victoria Wood is also fabulous – guaranteed to raise a smile and cut through any excessive gushing. If you like anthologies, Poetry Please: Love Poems (ISBN: 9780571328093, paperback) looks a good collection.
