About this product
Product Information
As heard on BBC Radio 4, the essential prescriptions from 'Dr' Sieghart's poetic dispensary. When we're grieving, when we're broken-hearted, and when we find ourselves struggling to understand the things we're feeling, we long for the connection poetry can provide. To find the right poem at that crucial moment, one capable of expressing our situation with considerably more elegance than we could muster ourselves, is to discover a powerful sense of complicity, and that precious realization- I'm not the only one who feels like this. In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy around the length and breadth of Britain, into the pages of the Guardian, onto BBC Radio 4 and onto the television, honing his prescriptions all the time. This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary- those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego, there is something here to ease your pain.Product Identifiers

Perfect, intriguing and says exactly what it is.
This is such a unique idea, running poetry pharmacies. In the poetry pharmacies William Sieghart's identifies certain poems for particular human conditions, which he then gives to the person to take away with them. Each poem i the book is accompanied by William's account of how the poem relates to conditions that people bring to him and how they help. This makes for a book that is a wonderful one to turn to at times of need: for oneself and for others. It's bright orange, hard-backed cover, in a slightly soft material, makes it a joy to hold. A treasure of a book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
