Poets of the Seasons
Everybody likes poetry - but very, very few people buy poetry books for themselves.
That is why a book of poetry (as shown below) is an ideal gift to a close relative or friend.
Poetry awakens beautiful thoughts, promotes greater understanding and innermost peace
in an otherwise modern, brash, noisy, selfish world.
- poetry collections of individual poets can be ordered separately in ChapBook format,
that is a 64-page Salisbury 'Slimline' edition, each typically containing 60 poems.
Any of the following ChapBooks are available for £4-95
(all packing and carriage FREE)

Poetry is the council of the Arabs, and these works of the Immortal Arab Poets were translated to transport the reader into their hot, colourful, enchanting worlds.

This 'Poet of the Season' is not one, but two poets, neither English, but both French and long since dead. But the work of the sixteenth century poets, Joachim du Bellay and Pierre Ronsard, now sensitively translated by Reine Errington, takes us into a very different country in a very different age. Yet there is something strangely familiar within their rural settings. It is like discovering an early Shakespearean manuscript.
