Beginning with the earliest attributable author in all of human literature, the twenty-third century BCE Sumerian High Priestess Enheduanna, and taking in a constellation of voices - from King David to Lao Tzu, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the Malian Epic of Sundiata - this selection presents a number of canonical figures like Blake, Dickinson and Tagore, alongside lesser-anthologized, diverse poets going up to the present day. Together they show the breathtaking multiplicity of ways humanity has responded to the spiritual, across place and time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57564382658942,"sku":"NW9780241391594","price":11.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780241391594.jpg?v=1785137276","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/penguin-book-of-spiritual-verse","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
