John Burroughs

    3. April 1837 – 29. März 1921

    John Burroughs war ein herausragender amerikanischer Naturessayist und Philosoph. Seine Schriften, größtenteils gesammelte Essays, erforschen die Schnittstelle von Natur und Philosophie. Burroughs formulierte eine persönliche Religion, die sich auf Ehrfurcht und Neugier gegenüber dem Universum konzentrierte. Er wurde als „Großer alter Mann der Natur“ gefeiert, dessen Einfluss auf das Genre des Naturaufsatzes mit dem von Thoreau verglichen wurde.

      This collection of 31 poems by 15 of the nation's finest established and emerging poets explores the idea of Hope, a commodity desperately needed in this age of meanness, desperation, distrust, and apathy. Fresh off the success of Mad As Hell: An Anthology of Angry Poetry, Simple Simons Press founder and editor J. R. Simons has gathered some of the best poems expressing hope for a better future, or as Barbara Sabol reminds us at the end of her poem, "Summer along the Stonycreek" - "Listen now to the river's patter, reminding us/not everything is broken."
