Oprah’s Favorite Things–AKA the ultimate holiday gift list–has arrived and we’re so excited to see poetry titles from PRH making an appearance!
Giftable poetry collections are one of our favorite things, too, trending higher in recent years as book clubs come back into vogue and folks look for screen-free relaxation options. Thoughtful and timeless, a good poetry book can be a great gift for anyone on your list.
For dog lovers, Dog Show by Billy Collins captures the essence and mystery of dogs in a special hardcover collection of poems inspired by our beloved companions. Featuring striking watercolor canine portraits by Pamela Sztybel and a charmingly illustrated cover under the jacket, this book was made to be cherished by any dog parent. Oprah writes, “This collection of 25 poems by Billy Collins is a sweet gift for dog lovers. ‘A Dog on His Master’ is a favorite of mine.”
A field gift favorite, two of Batsford’s poetry collections that feature cheerful, nature-inspired covers also ranked as one of Oprah’s favorite things in the wellness category. Made to keep and display on a bedside table for daily reading, these books offer a dose of love, joy, and respite for every day of the year in a beautifully illustrated package. Oprah writes, “Each of these two collections offers a different poem for every day of the year—on happiness and love. A thoughtful gift for folks who could use a quiet moment.”
We’ll happily take our cues from Oprah and say these books are must-have additions to your next gift assort. Check out Oprah’s favorite down below, then click into our title list to shop even more giftable poetry titles!
