FOUR SEASONS (EVERYMANS LIBRARY POCKET POETS) (HB)

Here are poets past and present, from Chaucer, Shakespeare and Wordsworth 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, the poems in this volume engage vividly with the seasons and the ways in which we understand and engage with the world outside ourselves.
