    Our second season and Nature thrills the world with her mastery of the landscape and its ever-changing hues.  Fruits and vegetables grow to perfection.  People busy themselves with work and ready themselves for play. They dot the land, visit the shores and swim in its rivers, lakes and seas and much, much more besides. 
 
Here, each and every day is celebrated with distinct and separate verse; Some poems commemorate the day it was written, others the birth or death of the writer or a particular significant moment that engages poet with date and verse.   
 
Once more our classic poets describe the unfolding days…..

    We watch as the cartographer, used to assuming control over a place by mapping it (‘I never get involved / with the muddy affairs of land'), is gradually compelled to recognise a wholly different understanding of place, as he tries to map his way to the rastaman's eternal city of Zion. As the book unfolds the cartographer learns that, on this island of roads that ‘constrict like throats', every place-name comes freighted with history, and not every place that can be named can be found.

    "It was before the Idiot's marriage, and in the days when he was nothing more than a plain boarder in Mrs. Smithers-Pedagog's High-class Home for Single Gentlemen, that he put what the School-master termed his "alleged mind" on plans for the amelioration of the condition of the civilized." This humorous story by the editor of Puck magazine describes how the Idiot sets out to improve the lot of civilized man through his inventions - the lot of barbarian man already being well tended to by missionaries and other do-gooders.
