The Penguin Classics Poetry Doctor Sometimes, when your own words fail you, a poem can describe how you’re feeling or express what you want to say... Laura Barber (Poems for Life Publisher and
our very own Poetry Doctor) has the remedy. Email your poetry problem
(broken-hearted, new baby, something fitting for a funeral?) to poetrydoctor@penguin.co.uk and Laura will personally prescribe you with a poem to meet your needs. During November and December 2007, we will be publishing a selection
of your poetry problems, together with Laura’s suggested prescriptions
for them - watch this space. We look forward to hearing from you! If you submit a name then we will post it on the site, otherwise
your post will be anonymous. If you are under 13 please make sure you
have permission from a parent or guardian first before requesting a
poetry prescription.
Penguin's Poems for Life takes its inspiration from Shakespeare’s idea
of the 'seven ages' of a human life, bringing together some of the
best-loved poems in English. Beginning with babies, the book is divided
into sections on childhood, growing up, making a living and making
love, family life, getting older, and approaching death, ending with
poems of mourning and commemoration.
