These poetic prescriptions and wise words of advice offer comfort, delight and inspiration for all; a space for reflection, and that precious realisation – I’m not the only one who feels like this.

This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary: those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work.
