This is a wonderful book edited by Claire Thom. All sales of the book go to water.org, a charity. The premise is a simple one: 100 poets from around the world have written poems about water. In a world where water is at risk...whether there's enough of it; whether it's clean anymore; whether underwater life is safe in it or can survive in it...it's important to raise consciousness about water so we can all help to save it. This book's poems help do just that---raise consciousness about water. Highly recommended.

Köpalternativ och tillägg
Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life, and this is the key to it all.
~From Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Hur kundrecensioner och betyg fungerar
Kundrecensioner, inklusive stjärnrecensioner av produkter, hjälper kunder att lära sig mer om produkten och avgöra om det är rätt produkt för dem.
Vi använder inte ett enkelt medelvärde för att beräkna den totala stjärnrecensionen och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

Each poem in this anthology takes us through another phase of water. From dripping wet to parched, it's a journey worth taking. Highly recommend.

5,0 av 5 stjärnor outstanding collection
Who could imagine there would be so many aspects of water to inspire so many poets? And it has inspired the over 100 international poets featured in this outstanding collection. Not only a delight to the eye with the fantastic cover picture by Mike Curry and illustrations by Colin Thom but wonderful poems to dip into and enjoy over months and years. A 'must' for any poetry bookshelf.

5,0 av 5 stjärnor Wonderful collection for a good cause!
This is a lovely collection of poetry around the theme of water. I love that the poets are international, and there is nice variety of styles and forms. Each poem has a unique perspective on water and our relationship with it. Bonus: all proceeds from this poetry collection benefit water.org, working for safe and clean water. Definitely worth the read and the purchase!
