Description:

Nature loosens her limbs, increases her ambition. Summer’s work is intense with colour, she paints with a brighter light. The hours of night diminish, quickly shrink. She has no need for rest but a yearning to work. Vibrant swathes of shooting, pulsing colour almost overwhelm. Her tempo is beyond our awed imagination. Inspired, the air, the sea, the parching earth bring elemental strength. Summer storms, forest fires. The endless blue of sky, of ocean water will not still her work. Mistress of all. Our poets merely the inky pens of her will. In fifty poems we take you on their inspiring journey, reflecting on the miracle of summer. 01 - Fifty Shades of Summer - An Introduction 02 - Summer by Alexander Pope 03 - Summer Song by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 04 - June by William Cullen Bryant 05 - A June Tide Echo by Amy Levy 06 - June.
