Porter's thoughtful poems reflect on a variety of themes and subjects that include the four seasons, love, rainbows, milkweed, and the twinned seeds of a maple tree. As he leads others down a lyrical path, Porter shines a light on the spectacular beauty of Vermont and a simplistic life that can only be found in a countryside where cattle doze in darkened barns, a bank of fog hangs in the sun-warmed air, and love lives in quiet ways. \"In all of the best senses, Burt Porter is America's best, and perhaps last, bard. I love every poem in the collection.\"-Howard Frank Mosher, award-winning author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Burt Porter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1491783656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491783658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.86d","brand":"Burt Porter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579766096127,"sku":"9781491783658","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83dd4d14-dcc7-4f25-8a43-1957019b573d.jpg?v=1763876498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rhymes-from-the-north-country-burt-porter-9781491783658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
