Poems for Travellers transports the reader to lands far and near in the company of some of our greatest poets such as Walt Whitman, John Keats and Christina Rossetti.

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

As internationally acclaimed author Paul Theroux writes in his introduction, ‘Here is a collection of travel poetry composed by real travellers, weekending tourists, feverish fantasists, bluffers, dreamers, brave adventurers and resolute stay-at-homes. It succeeds in what poetry does best – inspires and consoles, reminds us of who we are, where we’ve been, and where we might want to go next.’

Gaby Morgan is an Associate Publisher at Macmillan Children s Books and has run the children s poetry list for thirty years.

Paul Theroux (b. 1941) attended the University of Massachusetts then trained for the Peace Corps at Syracuse University. He was sent to Italy, then to Malawi. He was thrown out of the Peace Corps but remained in Africa, teaching in Uganda. Since then, he has traveled frequently, but now divides his time between Cape Cod and Hawaii. Other works include PIcture Palace, Mosquito Coast, Fong and the Indians, and Jungle Lovers.
