Description
Geoffrey Grigson was arguably the century's greatest poetry anthologist - a man whose breadth of reading was equalled only by his infallible taste. To every anthology, Grigson brought his habitual enthusiasm and his flair for the recondite. The Faber Book of Love Poems is no exception - a task undertaken con amore by a well-furnished mind and an experienced heart.
