A Poem for Every Autumn Day (A Poem for Every Day and Night of the Year)

I dont like all the England history.Prefer U.S history poetry.

Built sturdier than the typical paperback book this volume of poetry edited by Allie Esiri contains two poems for each day from September 1st through November 30th. Eaxh poem reflects the changing of the season and is suited to autumn. Some speak of war, some have a religious tone, some are well known pieces. This book is suitable for children and adults.

I purchased this because of the YT videos of famous people reciting various poems from the book. However, upon receiving, I was disappointed to find many poems that have absolutely NOTHING to do with autumn. What a bummer. It would have been nice if the entire book were autumn poems.

Don't leave this book out and about for things to be stacked on top and moved. I wanted to read a poem every day so I left it on my desk, and over a month the gold foil writing on the cover has completely worn off in some parts.

I really thought, given its focus on seasonality, this book would showcase some of the many beautiful nature-based poets there are out there-- the Mary Olivers and Robert Blys, the William Wordsworth and Emily Dickinson's. Instead, it's like a college 101 review of poetry, big names of mostly old white men, not much connection to Autumn-ness, not cozy. Returning.

We used this as our morning poetry time and the children loved it. A great combination and variety of poems. Bought the others in the collection based off of this one!

Grate variety of poems with explanations to each one. Adults and children alike will love to dive in each day and read a poem. Some days even have two to choose from! Wether you love the season of autumn or poetry itself, you will very much delight in this book.

This book was a total cover buy and also the description promised something very different. The poems choose are not for fall.. thus anthology is not worth buying.It gets one star for the pretty cover.

This is a lovely, sometimes quirky, collection of autumnal poetry. I love that the anniversaries of certain events are marked with relevant verses, and the collection of war poetry around Remembrnce Day. The poem choices are often surprising but are so perfectly autumn. Just lovely.

Habe mir super viel von dieser Sammlung erwartet. Leider hat sie so gut wie nicht mit dem Herbst zu tun. Super schade. Bringt einen nicht in Herbststimmung, sondern macht aggressiv, weil man so viel Geld für Mist ausgegeben hat. Sind natürlich gute Gedichte drin...aber eben nicht herbstlich.
