A NATURE POEM FOR EVERY SUMMER EVENING

Pour a long drink, take a seat under a shady tree, and lose yourself in this sublime collection of nature poems for summer. From William Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson, John Keats to Isaac Rosenberg, some of the finest poets that ever put pen to paper describe the slow, languorous, glowing days of the season. With one entry for every summer day, from June 1 to August 31, this collection of 92 poems will provide the perfect backdrop to those balmy summer evenings in the garden, from Christina Rossetti's "larks hang singing, singing over the wheat-fields wide" to Eugene Lee-Hamilton's "rich, hot scent of old fir forests heated by the sun," and Samuel Palmer's evocative descriptions of summer twilight to Rachel Field's whimsical musings on butterflies. This beautiful and collectable anthology of poems derives from the popular A Nature Poem for Every Night of the Year and also features summery poems from Geoffrey Chaucer, Amy Lowell, Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Blake, and many more.
