Jonathan Bate believes that the slow, meditative reading of poetry - absorbing ourselves in the images of a poem, slowing to its beat, allowing our minds to rest in the pause of a line-ending - can bring us tranquility as we find echoes of our own experiences on the page. Experiences of beautiful places, strong feelings and moments that lift the human spirit. In this book, Bate introduces us to the diet of swans, the quest for inner peace in ancient Chinese poetry, the English seaside and the summer Mediterranean, a rose garden and a snow-covered moor. He reminds us what it is like to fall in love and to say goodbye.
