Poems to celebrate the winter season.
A wonderful bedside companion for a frosty winter's evening, with poems
to immerse yourself in the season. From William Shakespeare to John
Keats to Katherine Mansfield, the finest poets that ever put pen to
paper describe this beautiful and sometimes terrible season.
With one entry for every day through winter, from December 1 until
February 28 or 29, this is the ideal book to take you through the darker
months and find joy and comfort in nature.
In December "Gaunt in gloom" begins James Joyce's "Nightpiece." In
January, "There's a certain Slant of light" for Emily Dickinson, while
"the dull dead wind is out of tune" for Oscar Wilde. And in February,
the last month of meteorological winter, William Morris muses "From this
chill thaw to dream of blossomed May."
This beautiful and collectable anthology of poems derives from the
popular A Poem for Every Night of the Year and also features wintry
poems by Alice Oswald, Edward Lear, Emily Brontë, William Wordsworth,
Ted Hughes, and many more.
