A Year of Nature Poems by Joseph Coelho
3.0
A book of 12 inspiring poems from Joseph Coelho, paired with folk art from Kelly Louise Judd give this book year-round appeal, and it makes for a quick but lovely read.
These poems are very good. Packed with imagery, these poems place you in the months they are about as soon as they begin, particularly ‘November’ and ‘April’ which took me straight back to being a kid and gave me some stunning nostalgic moments. This writer really does know how to transport you to another place and it shows in this collection.
With these poems is the beautiful artwork. ‘December’ is the definition of Winter, with gorgeous snowy scenes with deer that make for such beautiful pages in this book, however this high standard of artwork continues throughout the collection. ‘September’ has a beautiful border taking inspiration from nature and ‘July’ has a gorgeous aquatic scene that works so well with the words.
A lovely collection of poems, well worth checking out.
