The now familiar poem posters first appeared in London's tube and underground trains in 1986. The idea was simple enough: why not convert the empty advertising space above the passenger's heads into a simple celebration of the poetry that has underscored English literature for a thousand years or more? The poems soon caught the public's imagination. Here on the trains there was at last something different, words to soothe, inspire, move, charm, surprise, arouse, even occasionally to shock, but never to sell. The program grew, and attracted international attention, so that now there are similar programs of public poetry on transport systems around the world, from New York to Shanghai, including Dublin, Paris, Athens, Stuttgart, St. Petersburg, Moscow, San Francisco, and Barcelona. This latest anthology brings together the best of all of them in a single volume. You can turn the pages and find limericks, great works of romantic poetry, ancient Gallic texts, Spike Milligan nesting alongside Dylan Thomas. As a journey of literary discovery, old favorites alongside the new, this much travelled collection of exceptional poetry has no equal. Forget the literary canon—here is the canon of human life.

Poems on the Underground continue to delight London's travellers. Every four months, another five poems appear in the tube carriages, chosen by the novelist Judith Chernaik and the poets Cicely Herbert and Gerard Benson. This book includes all the poems and illustrations for "100 Poems on the Underground". It is also illustrated in colour with 24 posters from the golden age of London Underground art. The posters have been selected from the London Transport Museum archives to complement the spirit of the book. In addition to their graphic imagery, they feature lines of poetry of special interest, proving that poetry had a role to play in Underground travel as many as 80 years ago. There is an extended introduction, notes on the new poems and on the posters and an index of first lines. Bound and jacketed with head and tail bands, it also has a ribbon marker.
