365 poems celebrating nature and the changing seasons. This is the
perfect bedside companion for any nature or poetry fan, featuring
famous odes from big-name poets alongside unsung poems from
less-well-known writers. Each poem is chosen to chime with the
natural world through the seasons. Spring is a time of hope, a
season of new life with William Wordsworth's daffodils, John
Clare's lambs and Christina Rossetti's birdsong. Summer shifts into
a time of leisure with long idyllic holidays in the countryside.
According to Henry James, the two most beautiful words in the
English language were `summer afternoon', a sentiment echoed by
Edward Thomas and Emily Dickinson. John Keats, William Blake and W.
H. Auden are the poets we associate with autumn and this is
possibly the most poetic season. The natural world, and the human
one, hold onto the last lingering memories of summer before they
turn to face the oncoming hardships of winter. Amy Lowell and
George Meredith perfectly frame this time of year with their
silver-fringed leaves and crimson berries. Winter can be savoured
in poetry, rather than endured; bleak grey days are transformed
into a world of glittering frost and snow-blanketed landscapes.
Even in the darkest days life continues and soon we can turn our
attention to the rebirth of spring. A wonderful collection of poems
that help mark the daily turn of the seasons and all the rituals
marking the significant moments of the year, from Candlemas to
Christmas.
