Poetry on the Buses by Valerie Belsey
What does travelling on a bus mean to you? Waiting at a bus stop on a grey day, with nothing to look at but the timetable? Sitting on a bus and gazing at the traffic, or the advertisements for insurance? Published in association with Arriva buses, this is a collection of poems intended for everyone - especially for those brave enough to leave their cars at home. The poems featured include works by Matthew Arnold, William Blake, Burns, Byron, Clare, Hardy, Masefield, Shelley, Tennyson, Walt Whitman and many modern poets, as well as poems submitted by members of the public.
