Selected Poems of Byron (Wordsworth Poetry Library)
'I mean to show things really as they are, not as they ought to be', wrote Byron (1788-1824) in his comic masterpiece Don Juan, which follows the adventures of the hero across the Europe and near East which Byron knew so well, touching on the major political, cultural and social concerns of the day. This selection includes all of that poem, and selections from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the satirical poems English Bards and Scotch Reviewers and A Vision of Judgement.

Poetry 1900-2000: One Hundred Poets From Wales
This is certainly a remarkable book, 875 pages long. 100 poets, some 600 poems in all. If you are going on holiday to some boring place like Lanzarote or Malta, take it with you.
This work is an attempt to highlight issues of human need in work, particularly in schools, and to suggest some ways in which they can be attended to. It shows ways that school leaders can use aspects of the poet's craft to develop insights, and sharpen their communications.
