A beautiful, hardbacked anthology featuring some of the best poems of all time celebrating Christmas.
As the foreword puts it, "Christmas is both a holiday and a holy day." In this collection of poems celebrating the time-honored festival of winter feasts, lights, and giving, the poets here encapsulate both old and new holiday traditions—in poems by Langston Hughes, Emily Dickinson, W. H. Auden, Chinua Achebe, Dorothy Parker and many others.
From songs and carols like "A Visit from St. Nicholas" or "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" to more recent classics like William Carlos Williams's Christmas swan song "Burning the Christmas Greens" or W. S. Merwin's "Carol of the Three Kings," these Christmas Poems will spread cheer and verse throughout the holiday season—under the tree, out in the snow, or bundled up by the fire.
