The second month adds tiny dashes of colour. Nature begins to gently rouse herself for the coming season. Winter begins to withdraw its raw and elemental fingers in soft remembered surrender to the natural cycle that welcomes Spring.
Our classic poets, in 50 poems of inky verse, reveal all manner of events, sights and sounds. Among their ranks are Longfellow, Coleridge, Dickinson, Teasdale, Clare and a wealth of many others, who, with their thoughts and desires express the world in lines of revelation.
