Clare John, Гарди Томас, Dickinson Emily The Four Seasons
For the poet, even the most minute details of the natural world may be a source of inspiration, and the pages of this collection celebrating the four seasons are brimming with an extraordinary range of observation and imagery. 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 physical expressions of the ineffable. From Langston Hughes’s moody ‘Summer Night’ in Harlem to the chilling ‘mind of winter’ in Wallace Stevens’s ‘The Snow Man’, the poems in this volume engage vividly with the seasons and, through them, with the ways in which we understand and engage with the world outside ourselves.

Chesterton Gilbert Keith The Everyman Chesterton
Everything about Chesterton was prodigious, from his celebrated waistline to his sympathies and his output. Poetry, journalism, fiction, autobiography, history, criticism, political analysis, biography, polemic and even theology all poured from his pen. His teasingly paradoxical style reflects a mind which was never at rest and a heart as generous as his figure. This selection includes many of the well-known poems and stories – not least a substantial number of the Father Brown mysteries – and the essays about Dickens, unsurpassed to this day; but it also introduces readers to lesser-known writing, including the classic commentary on Aquinas, Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton’s theme throughout is that the world is a perennially astonishing and delightful place if we open our minds to it.
