What’s in a word? Apart from its value as a unit of information is there something more? Of course. Many words sound and express themselves, when rolled around the soul and mouth, as something both desirable, tangible and complete. We submit that ‘Wanderlust’ has just such a feeling. Most of us have an urge to journey, to take the body and mind on a journey that will sate our curiosity, build our experiences and memories and prepare ourselves for yet another. Whether as a child journeying wide-eyed through a field, a teenager exploring hitherto forbidden zones or as adults embarking on journeys that may change our lives and relationships with new cultures, foods and sounds - it seems as if we just can’t get no satisfaction till the next far-off place. In this volume of classic poetry our wordsmiths are our companions on journeys near and far. They describe and create worlds that we can explore with them, word by word and line by line. In the company of Keats, Wordsworth, Bronte, Whitman, Kipling and a wealth of others these journeys in verse will be like no other. 1 - The Poetry of Wanderlust - An Introduction 2 - Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman 3 - The Vagabond by Robert Louis Stevenson 4 - Travel by Robert Louis Stevenson 5 - El Dorado by Edgar Allan Poe 6 - The Land of Nod by Robert Louis Stevenson 7 - The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear 8 - Foreign Lands by Robert Louis Stevenson 9 - Going Down Hill on a Bicycle, a Boy's Song by Henry Charles Beeching 10 - By My Two Feet and Endless Times by Daniel Sheehan 11 - Sonnet on Approaching Italy by Oscar Wilde 12 - Constantinople by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu 13 - In the Bazaars of Hyderabad by Sarojini Naidu 14 - To the City of Bombay by Rudyard Kipling 15 - Stanzas From the Grande Chartreuse by Matthew Arnold 16 - England and Switzerland by William Wordsworth 17 - In Amsterdam by Eugene Field 18 - Dear Old London by Eugene Field 19 - Composed Upon Westminster Bridge by William Wordsworth 20 - A London Thoroughfare. 2am by Amy Lowell 21 - In Excelsis by Arthur Cecil Hillier 22 - Ballade of an Omnibus by Amy Levy 23 - A Ballad of London by Richard Le Gallienne 24 - The Night Journey by Rupert Brooke 25 - Adlestrop by Edward Thomas 26 - From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson 27 - Rhyme of The Rail by John Godfrey Saxe 28 - In the Train by James Thomson 29 - To a Locomotive in Winter by Walt Whitman 30 - The Ancient Arteries of America by Daniel Sheehan 31 - Monadnock by John Gould Fletcher 32 - To the Nile by Keats 33 - Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley 34 - Cities and Thrones and Powers by Rudyard Kipling 35 - Tezcotinco by Alan Seeger 36 - In the Belly of This Metal Beast by Daniel Sheehan 37 - The Royal Tombs of Golconda by Sarojini Naidu 38 - Penmaenmawr by Patrick Branwell Bronte 39 - Sonnet to Lake Leman by Byron 40 - Lines Written in the Highlands After a Visit to Burn's Country by John Keats 41 - The Isles of Greece by Byron 42 - The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus 43 - Away to Canada by Joshua McCarter Simpson 44 - Good-bye.
