With a foreword by Valerie Bloom, the collection includes carefully chosen verse and prose pieces from a wide variety of international authors – many of whom have been recognised for their craft: some are celebrated authors of the past and others are bestselling authors of today.

For the LAMDA exams student, the verse and prose pieces explore a range of diverse themes from around the world; providing the Learner with different characters and worlds to explore, while studying for their examinations and practicing their communication skills.

For the general reader, this anthology will allow you to immerse yourself in a varied collection of verse and prose. It can act as the starting point in discovering new authors, poetry and extracts of literature.
