Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers: A Weather Poem for Every Day of the Year is the newest poetry anthology from Jane McMorland Hunter, looking at weather through both classic and contemporary poetry.Β
Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers: A Weather Poem for Every Day of the Year is an anthology of classic and contemporary poems, all about the weather.
This latest anthology from Jane McMorland Hunter covers all aspects of the weather: from storms to heatwaves to April showers, as well as how weather itself has been disrupted through climate change.
From the nursery rhyme 'Rain, Rain, Go Away' to Sylvia Plath's 'Black Rook in Rainy Weather', from Ralph Waldo Emerson's 'A Snowy Day' to Amanda Gorman's 'Earthrise', there is a weather poem for every day of the year. You can slip into a poem to dream of better weather (whether to you that means snow, rain or sun) or revel in a mirroring of what is currently going on outside of your window.
With contributions from classic and contemporary poets alike, there is all sorts of weather to be found; some favourites as well as some you may not even have heard of. With a selection of poems stretching across the globe and centuries, you're sure to find a weather poem to cast some sunlight on your day.
