DAISY GOODWIN has edited a small hardback anthology, 100
Poems to See You Through: Bright words for the darkest
hours (Ebury Press, £10 (£9); 978-0-09195-817-6).
The poets range from John Donne and Thomas Hardy to Wendy Cope and
Carol Ann Duffy, and all the royalties are going to Maggie's, a
charity that provides free practical, emotional, and social support
for people with cancer. Every poem is chosen for its life-affirming
quality. GP
