All The Poems You Need to Say I Do is a collection of poems as much about commitment as marriage. This book will cover all the forms that declarations of love have taken over the centuries, from the restrained coded lyrics of courtly love through to the unbridled passions of the 20th century.

All the Poems You Need To Say I Do is not just a pocket-sized Cyrano de Bergerac for the romantically tongue-tied: it is a veritable dictionary of all the ways our love can be declared. If you're in the first throes of new love, need to put a relationship to the test, or have reached the point of a great affirmation or commitment, you'll find a poem here beautifully fitted to the occasion.

This is an ideal book when a speech - whether public or private - has to be made, an instant cure for love-letter-writer's block, and the perfect companion on those lonely evenings when we need our strongest emotions put into words - written by the greatest poets in the language.
