A Nature Poem for Every Day of the Year by Jane McMorland Hunter
Format: Hardback
This beautiful collection features 365 poems celebrating nature and the ever-changing seasons.
Each poem has been carefully selected to reflect the natural world throughout the year. Spring brings hope and renewal, with William Wordsworth’s daffodils, John Clare’s lambs, and Christina Rossetti’s birdsong capturing the spirit of new life. Summer unfolds as a time of leisure, evoking idyllic countryside holidays and the charm of “summer afternoon,” a sentiment cherished by Henry James, Edward Thomas, and Emily Dickinson.
Autumn, often considered the most poetic season, is enriched by the works of John Keats, William Blake, and W. H. Auden. As the natural world transitions, Amy Lowell and George Meredith’s vivid imagery of silver-fringed leaves and crimson berries poignantly capture the lingering beauty before winter.
Winter’s starkness transforms into enchantment through poetry, with bleak days reimagined as scenes of frost-laden magic and snowy serenity. Even in the year’s darkest moments, life endures, leading us back to the promise of spring.
This wonderful anthology celebrates the rhythms of the seasons, weaving together poems that accompany the rituals and milestones of the year, from Candlemas to Christmas.
