Overview"These days we can be on the phone almost anywhere. On the hoof, perhaps, but phone calls are no less important for that. Edited by Sarah Jackson, this intriguing new anthology explores the emotional warp and weft of the telephone call from the wrong number that brings us ear-to-ear with a stranger to the anguished message for a distant lover who hasn't been in touch. In Michael Symmons Roberts' moving sequence written to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a last answerphone message is something to play and replay words to hold on to: ""I lay these voice-prints like a set of tracks, to stop you getting lost among the tall trees.."" - from 'Last Words' by Michael Symmons Roberts We phone people because there is something we have to say, and these poems capture that urgency and intimacy in varied and beautiful ways. Poems by Billy Collins, Imtiaz Dharker, Elaine Feinstein, Robert Frost, Louise Glück, Robert Hass, WN Herbert, Sarah Jackson, Deryn Rees-Jones and Michael Symmons Roberts.
