The Poets at Dove Cottage

This unique and vivid collection brings to life Dove Cottage and Grasmere through the eyes of twenty-five of our finest poets. Written from so many brilliantly-imagined angles, it allows the reader to experience the day-to-day as it was and is in 'the loveliest spot that Man hath ever found'.

William and Dorothy Wordsworth's own writing has pride of place alongside more recent Dove Cottage poets including Fleur Adcock, Simon Armitage, Gillian Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy, Paul Farley, Tony Harrison, Seamus Heaney, Zaffar Kunial, Kim Moore and Helen Mort.
