Almanac: Twelve Poems for 2025

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

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.
