Charles Causley Orden de los libros (cronológico)
Charles Causley es un poeta profundamente arraigado en Cornualles, su hogar de toda la vida. Su obra a menudo se inspira en el rico tapiz de leyendas y paisajes de la región, infundiendo su verso con un sentido distintivo del lugar. La voz única de Causley capta la esencia de lo cotidiano y lo mítico, haciendo que su poesía resuene en lectores que aprecian la profundidad lírica y una fuerte conexión con la herencia. Sus escritos exploran temas perdurables con claridad y una cadencia memorable.
`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.
