Book Overview: Poems on the Underground is the one standard poetry anthology that gets bigger, every year, as new selections of poems are posted up in trains. This new ninth edition is no exception, extending still further the eclectic, exciting, unpredictable, challenging juxtaposition of poems old and new, familiar and unfamiliar, from many of the world's favourite poets. The ninth edition, longer by 28 newly selected poems than its predecessor, celebrates the great range and depth of more than 1,000 years of English poetry, including contemporary pieces alongside some of the earliest and most beautiful poems in the language. Away from the rattle and bustle of the trains, over two hundred and fifty poems of the world and through the ages continue the success of this most remarkable anthology of recent years.
