  This anthology of poems are chosen by well-known personalities in aid of charity. In 1985 the students of Wesley College, Dublin, put together a very successful anthology of this sort and have since followed it up with three further anthologies. This collection is the best of the four books, with contributors ranging from Seamus Heaney to Alan Hollinghurst, from Christopher Ricks to Martin Amis, from Ian McKellan to Ben Elton - with each contributor writing about why he/she likes their chosen poem. Royalties go to Third World charities nominated by the school.
