  'Ted Hughes, the poet laureate, and Seamus Heaney, the Nobel prizewinner, have set out to produce the best anthology they can imagine. The result is exciting, surprising, broad in its taste and pulls the readers through it like a novel.' Sean O'Brien, Sunday Times 'This is a very high-voltage book, crammed with poetic intensity.Heady, visionary, and voyaging, this one is a winner.' Robert Crawford, Independent

  A companion to The Rattle Bag, The School Bag is an engaging and authoritative selection for the classroom. Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes have chosen an eclectic range of poets read in today's schools, but also those poems that the editors themselves read at school, or those from which they learned the most. Balancing the canon with more personal selections, The School Bag is an exhilarating introduction for any student of poetry.
