Fifty Shades of October

De: W B Yeats, William Wordsworth, Lucy Hamilton Hooper, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Emily Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edna St Vincent Millay

Narrado por: Richard Mitchley, Ghizela Rowe, Laurel Lefkow

The tenth month of the Gregorian calendar in now upon us and the land prepares to give us more of its colorful coverings as a landscape of thrilling promise and gorgeous colour provides a sumptuous feast as only nature can.

Autumn or Fall, the final crescendo of the natural landscape whirls and cascades herself before our eyes.

Across fifty poems our classic poets including Christina Georgina Rossetti, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Thomas Hardy & Dante Gabriel Rossetti find verse and tender words to match the occasion.

Their descriptions of nature’s ever-evolving landscape and humanity’s ever-changing lives emblazon the page with the lively ink that shapes us all.
