The Year's at the Spring

About this book

Spring arrives in poetry as birdsong, a garden gate, a first meeting and the sudden possibility of happiness. This anthology gathers verse around the changing seasons and the emotional lives that accompany them.

Compiled by L. D'O. Walters, The Year's at the Spring belongs to the illustrated gift-book tradition, pairing literary selections with richly decorative art. The pleasures lie in the arrangement as much as in the individual poems. A familiar line acquires new colour when it appears beside an image designed to make the whole page feel alive.
