Book Review; A Nature Poem for Every Autumn Evening edited by Jane McMorland Hunter

Earlier this month, I read the poetry anthology A Nature Poem for Every Autumn Evening edited by Jane McMorland Hunter and today I'll post my review.

Description from StoryGraph
A companion volume to the successful winter and spring titles, this anthology of poems is as sweet as pumpkin spice and warming as a roaring log fire. With one poem for every autumn evening, it's the perfect literary companion as the days begin to shorten. Whether you keep it on your nightstand for some evening reading, or in your bag for when you come across the perfect cozy coffee shop, this collection of poems is bound to make you feel ready for big scarves and crunchy leaves.

With classics from Katherine Mansfield, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Shelley, William Blake, William Morris, and more, you won't be sad that summer's over: you'll be celebrating because autumn has begun.

This beautiful and collectable anthology of poems derives from the popular A Poem for Every Night of the Year and features poems about every aspect of autumnal nature.

My Thoughts on the Book
As it's a poetry anthology, there's of course some poets and poems I enjoyed more than others, but it was overall an enjoyable read. Sometimes it's nice changing things up a bit and read some poetry instead of a novel, and with this anthology, one could read one poem a day if you'd like.

A few of my favourites includes The Owl by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, When Soft September Brings Again by Arthur Hugh Clough, The Harvest Moon by Ted Hughes, There is a Solemn Wind To-Night by Katherine Mansfield, and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
