This series contains poetry and prose anthologies composed of writers from across the English-speaking world. Parts of Songs of Ourselves Volume 2 are set for study in Cambridge IGCSE (R), O Level and Cambridge International AS & A Level Literature in English syllabuses. Following on from the popular Songs of Ourselves 1, the anthology includes work from over 100 poets, combining famous names - such as William Blake, Emily Dickinson and Les Murray - with lesser-known voices. This helps students to create fresh and interesting contrasts as they explore themes that range from nature to war.
