Moreover  Heaney and Hughes have elected to list their favorites not by theme or by author but simply by title (or by first line  when no title is given).

A helpful Glossary as well as an Index of Poets and Works are offered at the conclusion of this hefty  unorthodox  diverse  inspired  and inspiring collection of poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986510311477,"sku":"ByrdShop_057111976X","price":60.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780571119769.jpg?v=1770908027","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-rattle-bag-an-anthology-of-poetry","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
