A collection of poems relating to those things that pull at the heartstrings - loss, life, love, family. Each poem, chosen by eminent men from, amongst others, the arts and science, is introduced with a short piece expressing their feelings towards the poem. Some of these are insightful, some whimsical, not giving too much away. You can't escape the sense of sadness, the poems and anecdotes are moving - possibly best not devoured in one sitting.
