Wordsworth protested against the 'ruthless change' wrought by the arrival of the railways, but since his day, they have themselves taken on a poetic light. Edited by two of our most distinguished poets, this delightful anthology includes railway verse by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, TS Eliot, John Betjeman and many others, including those much-loved classics, WH Auden's 'Night Mail' and Edward Thomas's 'Adlestrop'.

Train Songs, edited by Don Paterson and Sean O'Brien, collects the results of the huge and various inspiration that trains have offered to poets from Wordsworth to Hugo Williams
Don Paterson was born in Dundee in 1963. He is the author of Nil Nil (1993), God's Gift to Women (1997) - winner of both the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize - and Landing Light (2003), which won both the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Whitbread Prize for Poetry. Rain, his most recent collection, won the Forward Prize for Best Collection in 2009, the same year that he was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.
Sean O'Brien is a poet, critic, broadcaster, editor and professor of creative writing at Newcastle University. His many books include a verse version of Dante's Inferno, a novel, Afterlife, and six prize-winning poetry collections. The most recent, The Drowned Book, won both the 2007 Forward and T. S. Eliot Prizes.
