Urban Myths and Legends is a sparky collection of poems by modern poets who have taken inspiration from the Roman poet Ovid s Metamorphoses. The poems all tell stories which include a transformation some inspired directly by the Metamorphoses and some completely new and of our time. Wings sprout, leaves fall and a traffic warden is rudely interrupted, as the poets channel Ovid s mischief and whisper tales of just and unjust deserts.Includes poems by Anna Kisby, Annie Katchinska, Ashley Williams, Deborah Alma, Ella Frears, Ellie Danak, Emma McKervey, Francine Elena, Jack Houston, Jacqueline Saphra, Joe Lines, John Greening, Jon Stone, Kay Buckley, Lana Young, Linda Goulden, Margot Myers, Pam Thompson, Paul Stephenson, Susan Richardson
