Poetry collection recommendations

[ASnowballsChance]

I used to really enjoy poetry but haven't read any recently so looking for a collection of poetry to get me interested in it again. A modern collection with some humourous and some serious poems. Thanks!

I love The Poetry Pharmacy
You pick your 'condition' and there'll be a poem to match

Anything by Billy Collins. Charming and with wit but not jokey.

Also these collections edited by Daisy Goodwin. They are all good here

These are a mixture of modern and classic but I love Penguin’s ‘poems for life’ which has sections for every stage of life - birth, falling in love, mourning etc. Also ‘poem of the day’ which has a poem for every day of the year. I don’t read it everyday but I love picking, turning to the date and seeing if the poem speaks for what I’m feeling that day
