A wonderful bedside companion on a winter's evening to enjoy our place in nature, even on a cold wintery night, in a collection of poems taken from the Nature Poem for Every Night of the Year anthology. From Shakespeare to Keats to Ted Hughes, this is the perfect book to immerse yourself in the season and find joy and comfort in nature. The finest poets that ever put pen to paper describe this beautiful and terrible season. In December 'Gaunt in gloom' begins James Joyce's 'Nightpiece'. In January, 'the dull dead wind is out of tune' for Oscar Wilde, and in February, the last month of meteorological winter, William Morris muses 'From this chill thaw to dream of blossomed May.' The ideal book to take you through the dark months of winter.
