From classics to contemporary (Picture: Amazon/Waterstones/Metro.co.uk)

Yesterday at President Biden’s inauguration, Amanda Gorman stole the show with her poetry and made us all question what we’d all achieved at the age of 22.

Her poem The Hill We Climb was powerful, beautiful and couldn’t be more relevant to the current global climate.

It’s also placed her book at the top of the Amazon best-sellers list – and it hasn’t even been released yet.

So, if Amanda’s incredible recital has put you in the mood for some more poetry, we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re a newbie to poetry or are simply looking for some new books to add to your collection, we’ve rounded up some of the best out there – from classics to contemporary works.

The Poetry Pharmacy, William Sieghart

A handful of lovely works for different circumstances (Picture: Amazon)

The brilliant William Sieghart came up with the idea of The Poetry Pharmacy back in 2014, when he began prescribing poems to help people cope with problems in their lives.

This book is a collection of works from various poets and is broken down into sections, depending on what you fancy reading about. There are poems about mental wellbeing, self acceptance, love and loss and more.
