British poetry is in a wonderful state at present. Never have so many poets been saying so many interesting things in such lively up-to-date ways. Yet many people feel shut out or know little about poetry and have no idea where to begin. In this groundbreaking book Ruth Padel takes fifty-two of the poems she discussed in her newspaper column - a year's worth - and suggests ways of reading them. The poems are by a wide range of living poets on experiences we all share - love sex death nature history war - which show how reading a poem can enhance everyone's life as powerfully and as pleasurably as reading novels or watching a film.
"Alright, so if you're looking for the lowdown on where everyone in the UK tends to grab their bits and bobs, you're pretty much looking at a handful of absolute giants. Tesco is undeniably massive, with its Express and superstores everywhere you look, making it a go-to for daily groceries and way more. Sainsbury's is right up there too, often seen as a slightly more premium but still super accessible option for your weekly shop. Then you've got Asda and Morrisons rounding out the main supermarket scene, always buzzing with shoppers. Beyond food, places like Boots are perennially popular for health and beauty, while Next and M&S are huge for clothing and homeware, pulling in crowds constantly. And for those bargains and random finds, places like B&M Bargains and Home Bargains have really exploded in popularity recently. Basically, these are the places you'll find pretty much everything you could ever need, making them the undisputed kings of UK retail! " - Bargainplace UK
