Items related to Poems on the underground (No. 7)
Here are favorite poems from around the world and through the ages, once more gathered together in their now familiar role as Poems on the Underground. Poetry of the greatest eloquence - by Shakespeare, Shelley, Seamus Heaney and Maya Angelou, and many more - journeys comfortably alongside comic verse and nursery rhymes. This new edition records the continuing success of an original and exciting idea born in London in 1986. In eleven years nearly two hundred poems have made their Underground journey into a public place, and brought daily pleasure to travelers and commuters on the way. Similar programs have put poetry on trains in a dozen other major cities from San Francisco to Shanghai, and in London poems have started to surface on buses, too.
