Cambridge Poets

AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION OF CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI

This book presents the work of numerous poets who have passed through the gates of the University of Cambridge. The University has had a hand in the creation of a great number of poets ranging from the sublime to the, shall we say, less than average. This is a selection of those who have left their marks on the pages of history, although some of them have since faded. They are each celebrated here with examples of their work, for you to enjoy again or discover.
