Friends, poets and readers of the website are invited to take part in this new feature in which you are simply asked to nominate your favourite poem. If you feel like saying a few words about your choice then please do but it isn't compulsory. You can e-mail via the address on the profile.
I am grateful to Daniel Parsons for starting us off with an appropriately early selection, The Iliad by Homer.

Daniel remarks that he noticed a taste for violence in poetry in his choice, having also considered Ted Hughes and Daddy by Sylvia Plath.
It is Homer that is pictured here, not Daniel.
