  The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
  In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
  The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
  In this volume we bring together the poems and verse of those wordsmiths whose lives were blighted by tuberculosis, then more commonly known as consumption, and its debilitating and usually terminal effects.   
  The long roll call and the truncated legacies that were left behind are filled with the names of these lost talents.

  G K Chesterton: The Selected...

  'The men that walked in darkness / Had found the light before.'
  
  A vibrant collection of poems illustrating the wit, depth and imaginative range from one of the most distinctive voices of the twentieth century: G.K. Chesterton.
  
  Blending humour, paradox and profound spiritual insight, Chesterton's poems celebrate the ordinary, challenge modern cynicism and champion faith with an unrelenting joy. From rollicking ballads like 'The Rolling English Road' to meditative pieces such as 'The Ballad of the White Horse', this selection captures Chesterton's trademark use of playful rhythm, sharp intellect and deep moral conviction. It is a journey through verse that evokes wonder, defends tradition and sings with clarity and courage. This audiobook edition is beautifully read by David Rintoul.
  Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.
