The Oxford Treasury of Time Poems

This is a collection of more than 100 poems for the millennium on the theme of time. The book takes a wide-ranging look at Time, including the beginning of the world, the present, and the future; being born, having birthdays, and growing old. There are humorous poems and sad poems, old and new poems, familiar and less well-known ones, all included to reflect and illuminate Time. The poets include Ted Hughes, Michael Roen, Seamus Heaney; Tennyson, Auden, Shakespeare, and many more. The poems are illustrated in color and black and white by a number of artists who all bring their own contributions to the theme.
