  A thoughtful and varied collection of feel-good poems perfect for any day and any situation.

Each poem has been carefully selected by editor Deborah Alma, the world's first and only emergency poet, who travels in her 1970s ambulance to schools, libraries and festivals to offer consultations and prescribe poems as cures for various maladies: to comfort, purge melancholy, provide hope and give courage. This collection will lift your mood and brighten your day, offering poetic help wherever it is needed.
