We connect with poetry in ways we don't usually connect with prose. Meant as an enjoyable and accessible set of poems, it is hoped that "Four Seasons: Original Poems and Responses to Classics" will delight and inspire all readers, whether they typically think of themselves as readers of poetry or not. The "Four Seasons" sonnets anchor this poetry collection ranging from the whimsical to the contemplative. Greenhill wrote the earliest poems while still a teenager. They include poems of humor such as "The Mischief" about a fox getting away with being just that. Many poems contain engaging insights. Among others, "The Smallest Things" reminds us of what's right before us, but often escapes our notice. The next section, "Poems Without the Excuse of Youth," opens with "Interrogatives," questions we all may have whether we realized it or not. A narrative poem, "The Master's At Rest" is set in Edwardian England from a cook's point of view. Both friendship, "Out Walking in the Sun", and nostalgia, "Mimosas", are explored along with other themes. The human relationship with nature continues with "From This Place of Birth" and "Elemental" and culminates in the "Four Seasons" sonnets, though not before responses to classical poems by such greats as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and Rudyard Kipling. Join us in welcoming this newest collection of poems in the tradition of nature as backdrop and sounding board.
