The Poetry Pharmacy Returns

More Prescriptions for Courage, Healing and Hope

After two busy years on the road, the Poetry Pharmacist is back on the page with new prescriptions, readers' most-loved poems, and more tried-and-true classics from the pharmacy vault.

The Poetry Pharmacy is one of the best-selling (and most giftable) poetry anthologies of recent decades. Now, after huge demand for more prescriptions from readers and 'patients' alike, William Sieghart is back.

This time, tried-and-true classics from his in-person pharmacies are joined by readers' favourite poems and the new conditions most requested by the public - all accompanied by his trademark meditations (warm, witty and understanding, with just a twist of the challenging) on the 58 spiritual ailments he seeks to cure.

From ageing bodies and existential crises to long-distance relationships and embracing your slovenliness, The Poetry Pharmacy Returns caters to all-new conditions while drilling further down into the universals: this time, the challenges of family life, and of living as a person among others, receive a much closer look.

Perfect for treasured friends, barely tolerated siblings, beloved aunts and revered grandparents in your life.
