Reviews of If: A Treasury of Poems for Almost Every Possibility
There is little that is as deeply satisfying than the apt poem. It's like chocolate for the soul. Except less fattening. It resolves the nervous system, captures the elusive experience of being alive so we may always have it and never lose it. Give your child an appetite for poems and they will never be bored – Helena Bonham Carter
