Staying Alive is an international anthology of 500 lifeaffirming poems fired by belief in the human and the spiritual at a time when much in the world feels unreal, inhuman and hollow. These are poems of great personal force connecting our aspirations with our humanity, helping us stay alive to the world and stay true to ourselves. Many people turn to poetry only at unreal times, whether for consolation in loss or affirmation in love, or when facing other extremes and anxieties. Staying Alive includes many of the great modern love poems and elegies, but it also shows the power of poetry in celebrating the ordinary miracle, taking you on a journey around many of the different aspects of everyday life explored in poems. A strong poem is not just for crisis. Such a poem is there for all times, helping us face or embrace daily change and disruption. It will also speak to us when nothing seems to be happening, when the poems importance is in helping us stay alive to the world and stay true to ourselves. Staying Alive has reached a wider readership than any other anthology of contemporary poetry. It is a landmark in the history of literary publishing. A sequel, Being Alive (2004), and a companion anthology, Being Human (2011), complete this poetry trilogy.

This poetry collection has some gems, but a few pieces felt a bit off to me. I appreciate the effort to capture the current mood of the world, and the illustrations are neat, but sometimes it just didn’t resonate. Still worth a read if you're into modern poetry.

I picked up 'Staying Alive' during a tough time, and it really hit home. The poems are so relevant to what we're all experiencing today, and I love how they mix humor with deep emotion. It's a book I keep going back to whenever I need a lift or some perspective.
