Description

Mesmerising, magical, deeply moving. I loved and adored this book! If you are looking for a read that will warm your heart, inspire your creative mind and renew your faith in the resilience of the human race, look no further
ELIF SHAFAK

A poem to P�draig is like a child to Mary Poppins. It sits, alert, in wonder that he should know it so well. I would go out at night to hear P�draig talk of the poems. The next best thing, maybe even better, is Poetry Unbound . . . There should be a copy of Poetry Unbound in every bar, every caf�, every train station, every bus station, every airport, every workplace, every school, every university, everywhere!
LEMN SISSAY

A wonderful anthology of poetry filled with fascinating and thought-provoking commentary from one of the best voices in contemporary poetry today
WILLIAM SIEGHART

P�draig � Tuama is a bearer of light. He has been called to bring his illuminating insights into what some might consider encroaching darkness, and we are all the fortunate beneficiaries of his response. This collection of poems by fifty writers, with accompanying essays by P�draig, is a testament to the rare fineness of feeling and understanding that mark his brilliant work for the On Being Project
LORNA GOODISON

The Poetry Unbound podcast, and P�draig’s way of finding language to describe the details and intricacies and the shades of grey of the human experience, have made me a better person, a better songwriter and a better artist. P�draig’s perspectives have added so much beauty, wonder and comfort to my life, and I would urge everyone to dive into this deeply rewarding book
CAMILA CABELLO

Poetry Unbound is terrific and I have been dipping into this magnificent book with enormous pleasure. P�draig � Tuama’s abilities as a curator of poems, combined with his remarkable gift for unpacking poems in such illuminating and generous ways, makes this ground-breaking publication one of the most engrossing books I have read in recent years
STEPHEN FRY

A gorgeous book. Each stunning poem has been so lovingly selected by P�draig � Tuama and then shared with so much generosity and care. This is an essential selection for poets and poetry lovers alike. I loved this glorious celebration of poetry and the ways it can navigate the heart and soul

P�draig's close reading of my “Wonder Woman” poem was a gift. I was and am deeply moved
ADA LIM�N

A journey of discovery; an anthology that provides a challenge on every page as well as a wealth of frank autobiographical material
