CAMBRIDGE INTL EXAMINATIONS SONGS OF OURSELVES VOLUME 1

Explore a rich and diverse collection of poetry with Songs of Ourselves Volume 1. This essential anthology is the official set text for the Cambridge IGCSE, O Level, and AS & A Level Literature in English syllabuses.

This book brings together the work of over 100 poets from across the English-speaking world, spanning different centuries and cultures. It masterfully combines famous names—such as William Wordsworth, Maya Angelou, and Seamus Heaney—with lesser-known but equally powerful voices.

The poems are thoughtfully grouped by theme, allowing you to make fresh and interesting connections as you explore universal topics like love, death, nature, and conflict. Brief notes under the poems help clarify difficult words and references, making this anthology accessible to all learners.
