Description
A vivid cycle of poems attuned to the changing moods, forces, and mysteries of the natural world, this collection follows the year through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Drawing on the landscapes and wildlife that shaped his imagination, the poems explore renewal, growth, decay, death, and the enduring rhythms that bind human life to the earth. Hughes’s elemental language and powerful imagery give each season its own emotional and mythic presence, while Leonard Baskin’s illustrations deepen the book’s striking union of poetry and visual art.
