This celebratory anthology explores human connection through forty-four poems carefully curated by the host of the internationally acclaimed Poetry Unbound podcast. With an observant eye, Padraig O Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem, revealing the ways we relate to each other, the world around us and ourselves. Blending humour with insight, tension with tenderness, complexity with care, this collection articulates the power of poetry itself; it illuminates aspects of the human condition, particularly the ways we are inextricably linked to each other, and provides inspiration for grounded self-reflection. 44 Poems on Being with Each Other features a remarkable and refreshing range of exceptional poems from around the world including contributions from Wendy Cope, Constantine P. Cavafy, Chen Chen, Joy Harjo, Patricia Smith and many more. It is an anthology that will delight readers just as Padraig''s podcast has done for millions around the world.
