--from "The Listeners" This volume of Walter de la Mare's poems offers both the longtime fan and the new reader a thoughtful selection of his most poignant writing.

Poetry students will appreciate his skillful use of meter and language, while the more casual reader will enjoy the simple but evocative incantations of the natural world.
