Description
This collection brings together a diverse range of poets from past and present, including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Whitman, Dickinson, Thoreau, Keats, Blake, Hopkins, Elizabeth Bishop, Ted Hughes, and Amy Clampitt. The poems within explore the seasons as measures of earthly time, states of mind, or physical expressions of the human experience.
From Robert Frost's evocative tribute to spring in 'Nothing Gold Can Stay', to Langston Hughes's moody portrayal of summer in 'Summer Night' in Harlem, this volume engages with the seasons in a way that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The poems also touch on the ways in which we understand and engage with the world outside ourselves.
Featuring a range of styles and perspectives, this collection offers a unique insight into the human experience through the lens of the seasons.
