The Poem and the Journey Bewertungen

It's a generous, likable, diligent and smart piece of work -- Andrew Motion * Guardian *
Ruth Padel is Virgil in the 'Inferno' of poetry. She guides the reader gently and deftly on the journey... This is much more than a book about poetry, this is a handbook for living! -- Fiona Shaw
Brilliant... Padel draws on a huge range of references to make a powerful case for poetry as a living art form * Independent *
As a writer you would probably choose Ruth Padel as your ideal reader. Her eye misses very little of the nudging and winking that goes on in a poem, and she seems able to tune into the silent music of text on the page...she finds more than most to engage with and enjoy -- Simon Armitage
An enlivening, illuminating book, lucid, accessible and probing * The Times *
