Songs of Ourselves Volume 2

Produced with Cambridge International Examinations.

Songs of Ourselves Volume 2, Cambridge International Examinations Anthology of Poetry in English, is a brand new selection which follows on from the very successful Songs of Ourselves.

Songs of Ourselves and Songs of Ourselves Volume 2 together now present an even wider range of poetry covering four centuries, every continent, subject matter from the cradle to the grave and a great variety of language, form and style. Parts of the book are set for study in Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge O Level, and Cambridge International AS and A Level Literature in English syllabuses, but it is designed for readers of all ages and backgrounds.

• Like the first volume, it contains work by more than 100 poets from all parts of the English speaking world
• Famous poets, from Shakespeare to Les Murray, are once again mixed with many new and lesser known voices to create fresh and interesting effects and contrasts
• Poems have been carefully chosen for their universal appeal, avoiding anything very obscure or hard to interpret and brief glosses are supplied where necessary to help with more difficult words, phrases and references
• The poems are arranged in broad thematic sections, allowing many different connections to be made, which will stir the interest of students and readers, inspiring them to explore the rich and ever expanding world of poetry in English.
