Poems from the Moleskine: Through the Seasons and On - Paperback

by W. Grey Champion (Author)

Poetic Philosophies, Musings, and Meditations on the Seasons of Nature and Life

The first crocus pushing bravely through the cold earth in spring, the exuberant catbird returning to his favorite tree in summer, a frosty morning walk in early autumn, snow on distant mountain tops in winter! Nature graces us with an infinity of inspirations that may be the source of poetry, which, like music, seek to express the ineffable experience-whether of the natural world or of our common human condition-and thus to share it.

The poems assembled in this volume have all appeared on the weekly blog, From the Moleskine under "The Carriage Lamp." The blog was created many years ago by author W. Grey Champion, with his long-time, dear friend Anna collaborating. Their hope, in publishing this book, is to preserve the poems collected from the vagaries of existence in cyberspace.

Give place for Poems from the Moleskine on your shelf alongside Robert Frost, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Alfred Tennyson, and through the seasons of the year or seasons in our life cycle, you may find what you need in the many moods of these musical words.
