the ropes is a new type of poetry anthology that is aimed at young people but could be read by anybody. It doesn’t have traditional poems but it has new and specially-commissioned ones from all sorts of poets, who reflect on life today. Not preachy but hopeful, turning an unflinching eye on the world, it also encourages you to respond with your thoughts - or to write your own poems. Begin now - kickstart your creativity with a writing workshop, then why not have a go and submit your own poem.
