  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
   
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
   
  The American poetess may have lived in the constancy and overbearing shadows of their male colleagues but their verse is the equal of each and every man, whoever they may be.  Their words do not surrender to pity or lack of self-esteem, but are glowing tributes to the talents of humanity despite the shadows that often clouded their lives.

  Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
  Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
  Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
  This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.

  The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
  Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
  Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
  as well as debuting some brand-new work.
