Both the reader and the listener gain a far greater understanding of the poem, its subject matter, and the mood the poet wants to convey--the words hit us more powerfully and meaningfully. And what's more, it's good for our health: mindfully reading aloud has been proven to help with relaxation, alongside improvements in working memory, vocabulary acquisition, and communication skills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a wide and diverse range of poets including the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz and Mary Oliver in the twenty-first century, old favorites such as Emily Dickinson and more recent voices such as Lemn Sissay, the obvious classics such as Wordsworth\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand slightly more offbeat fare like Spike Milligan, there's something for everyone in this book: poems that are funny, sad, consoling, uplifting, and everything in between. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether you're a teacher enthralling a class of children or a carer entertaining a group of pensioners, if you're looking for a reading for your wedding or a powerful piece for a performance or poetry slam, you'll find everything you need here. It's the perfect book to dip into daily to share a poem with anyone, everyone, or even just yourself, to hear the true beauty and rhythm of words and the magic they can weave.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Batsford","offers":[{"title":"Poem to Read Aloud Every Day of the Year | Liz Ison | Hardcover | 9781849948463 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1764062","offer_id":49287711555736,"sku":"1764062","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61p8ntkT6EL.jpg?v=1781897608","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/poem-to-read-aloud-every-day-of-the-year","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
