| Publisher Description: The Language of Spring collects some thirty of the most evocative English-language poems on the experience of spring. The poems range from the traditional and formal (Gerard Manley Hopkinss Spring and Edna St. Vincent Millays English Sparrows) to the contemporary, experimental, and diverse (Henry Reeds Naming of Parts, Marie Ponsots Mauve, and William Carlos Williamss The Widows Lament in Springtime). Each poem beautifully illuminates another small spot of time in the enthralling season of renewal. Other contributors include: Maxine Kumin (the volumes title is adapted from her poem), Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Mary Oliver, Richard Wright, John Updike, Walt Whitman, Yusef Komunyakaa, e. e. cummings, D. H. Lawrence, Claude McKay, Jane Kenyon, Sara Teasdale, Philip Larkin, Anne Sexton, James Tate, and A. R. Ammons. |
