Here are poets past and present, from Chaucer, Shakespeare and
Wordsworth to Whitman, Dickinson and Thoreau; from Keats, Blake and
Hopkins to Elizabeth Bishop, Ted Hughes and Amy Clampitt. Here are
poems that speak of the seasons as measures of earthly time or as
states of mind or as the physical expressions of the ineffable.
From Robert Frost's tribute to the evanescence of spring in
'Nothing Gold Can Stay' to Langston Hughes's moody 'Summer Night'
in Harlem; from the 'stopped woods' in Marie Ponsot's 'End of
October' to the chilling 'mind of winter' in Wallace Stevens's 'The
Snow Man', the poems in this volume engage vividly with the seasons
and, through them, with the ways in which we understand and engage
with the world outside ourselves.
