Charles Causley Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Charles Causley je básnik hlboko zakorenený v Cornwalle, svojom celoživotnom domove. Jeho tvorba často čerpá inšpiráciu z bohatého sveta legiend a krajín tohto regiónu, čím napĺňa jeho verše výrazným zmyslom pre miesto. Causleyho jedinečný hlas zachytáva podstatu každodenného aj mýtického, vďaka čomu jeho poézia rezonuje u čitateľov, ktorí oceňujú lyrickú hĺbku a silné spojenie s dedičstvom. Jeho diela skúmajú trvalé témy s jasnosťou a zapamätateľnou kadenciou.
`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.
