New England’s Rural Winter: A Poem

by John Chick Murray

About this book

John Chick Murray follows a New England winter from the gathering of families at Thanksgiving through the season’s changing weather, rural scenes and shared customs. The poem joins descriptions of the landscape with memories of home, community and the passage of time.

Its linked sections move between outdoor detail and domestic life, giving the season both a physical setting and an emotional history. This complete illustrated 1895 Portland edition retains the original verse, illustrations and publication notices.
