A beautiful gift book that captures autumn in all its contemplative beautyThe Heart of Autumn collects some thirty masterful poems by English-language writers on the experience of reflection and introspection that occurs with the fading of the sunlight, the cooling of the earth, and the dropping of the leaves. Illustrated throughout with graceful pen-and-ink drawings of fall foliage, this volume features a selection of some of the world's most acclaimed poets from Gerard Manley Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, and William Wordsowrth to comtemporary poets including e.e. cummins, Robert Bly, and W.S. Merwin. Each poem offers readers a glimpse of the satisfying gifts that fall brings to us, and a celebration of the hallmarks of the season: the harvest, Thanksgiving, and finally, the onset of winter. The title of the book is taken from a Robert Penn Warren poem, and the introduction is a meditation on the season by his daughter, the poet Rosanna Warren. Other contributors include: Archibald MacLeish, May Sarton, Pamela Steed Hill, Yvor Winters, Edgar Lee Masters, John Keats, Mary Jo Salter, Siegfried Sassoon, Richard Wilbur, Louise Bogan, Carl Sandburg, William Butler Yeats, and more.
