Charles Causley Livres
Charles Causley est un poète profondément enraciné en Cornouailles, sa patrie de toujours. Son œuvre s'inspire souvent de la riche tapisserie de légendes et de paysages de la région, insufflant à ses vers un sens distinct du lieu. La voix unique de Causley capture l'essence de l'ordinaire et du mythique, faisant résonner sa poésie auprès des lecteurs qui apprécient la profondeur lyrique et un lien fort avec le patrimoine. Ses écrits explorent des thèmes durables avec clarté et une cadence mémorable.
`One of the finest poets of his generation' Vernon Scannell, Sunday Telegraph schovat popis
Alongside such familiar favourites as Edward Thomas's 'Adlestrop', John Masefield's 'Sea-Fever', Thomas Gray's 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' and Stevie Smith's 'Not Waving But Drowning', here are Jenny Joseph threatening to be a disreputable old lady, Patrick Chalmers on the wisdom of the fairground, V.L. Edminson on a good cure for bad temper and F.W. Harvey celebrating the comical duck. Heroism, the seasons, birth, death, work and eccentric characters: these are poems for every mood and taste, from the whole range of verse in English.
This collection of verse for children includes poems describing elves, changelings, wizards, ghosts, mermaids, incantations and curses. The editor has also included poems which seem to reflect the magic of the natural world and everyday life.
