We begin on Exmoor and end with a frosted window in this glorious addition to our ever-popular series of Almanacs. On the way, we encounter wild roses and pipistrelle bats, the green-god Lud and \”violet lightnings\” during a summer storm. The twelve poems take us through the year, noticing the particular things that make each month unique and precious. Spring is heralded in a delicious poem that relishes the rhymes and sound-patterns of the year’s most vibrant season: \”Slithery, withery Winter’s away! Here comes dawny, yawny Spring sunrays, rooty, shooty, tooty daffodils bright, buttery, fluttery, butterflies light \” from ‘Here Comes Spring’ by Linda Middleton What could be better than starting each month with a poem? We hope this beguiling selection will help you to do just that. Poems by David Clarke, Jane Clarke, Olga Dermott-Bond, Fiona Dignan, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Marie-Louise Eyres, Kerry Hardie, Mark Haworth-Booth, George Meredith, Linda Middleton, Angela Readman and Sara Teasdale. Cover illustration by Laura Boswell. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
