ed. By Neil Astley Bloodaxe This is an international anthology of 500 life-affirming poems inspired by the belief that, even in most troubled times, poems of great personal force can help us stay alive and in touch with our humanity. 'Staying Alive' is also a wonderful testament to Neil Astley's lifetime in poetry and to the range and courage of his taste. But, mostly, it is a book about poetry itself, illustrating its power to engross and move us, challenge and transform us when we need it most.
