Poems for Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the art of being in the moment, and few things focus the mind quite like the words of a well-loved poem. This collection gathers poems that invite you to notice what surrounds you with fresh attention, poems that find hope even in difficult times, and poems that urge you to seize the day and the moment at hand. Featuring the work of poets such as William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, it makes the case that poetry itself can be a way of returning to the present, one carefully chosen word at a time.
