The Seasons

This anthology gathers poems, essays, letters, and diary passages that take the year as their subject, grouped around spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Contributors range across centuries and include nature writers, novelists, and poets who treat weather, harvest, frost, birds, and the moods that attend each season. The pieces are short and independent, with no frame story. Typical subjects are gardens, fields, city parks, and the turning of the agricultural year. The book is a seasonal commonplace collection, not a single long poem and not a natural-history textbook.

Quarter-bound in blocked cloth with printed paper sides. Pattern printed green slipcase.
