A Nature Poem for Every Spring Evening
Poems to celebrate spring.
A sublime bedside companion to enjoy as the frost melts and days grow longer, with poems to immerse yourself in the season. From William Blake and Emily Dickinson to Robert Browning and Eleanor Farjeon, some of the finest poets that ever put pen to paper describe this wondrous season of new beginnings.
With one entry for every day through spring, from 1st March until 31st May, this is the perfect book to reinvigorate you in the warmer and wetter months and find joy in the annual rebirth of nature.
In March, Eleanor Farjeon wills for spring to 'bring primroses and daffodils'. 'Once more the Heavenly Power Makes all things new' begins Tennyson's 'Early Spring'. In April, 'Earth, air, and sun and skies combine to promise all that's kind and fair' for Arthur Hugh Clough, while 'winking Mary-buds begin to ope their golden eyes' for William Shakespeare. And in May, Philip Larkin reflects 'Last year is dead, they seem to say, Begin afresh, afresh, afresh'.
This beautiful and collectable anthology of poems derives from the popular A Poem for Every Night of the Year and features poems inspired by springtime by Laurence Binyon, Margaret Cavendish, Amy Lowell, William Wordsworth and many more.

Some of these I adored, some were OK, some I struggled with. But here's the thing this is the second of these types of books I have had (the other a poem for every day of the year) provided by a wonderful daughter and I want more and I will be re-reading this next year. And I bet I feel different about the ones that I rated less.
Yes I got ahead of myself and finished early because I am not always as autistic as all that.

I really enjoyed reading these poems throughout the season. I think the editors picked a good selection. The book is beautiful.

Beautifully designed inside and out with great, mostly classic, poetry selections perfect for a five minutes or less daily poetry break. I have lots of poetry anthologies, and I like how inviting and accessible this one was, while still choosing high quality, non-juvenile pieces. I bought the rest of the seasons and plan to read them all year.
