โWinter Treesโ by William Carlos Williams
The poem presented in this post first appeared in Williamsโ book titled โSour Grapes: A Book of Poemsโ, published in 1921.

Book review: โGhostland: In Search of a Haunted Countryโ by Edward Parnell
โGhostland: In Search of a Haunted Countryโ is an excellent, genre-blending book, that brings together nature and travel writing, literary and cultural history, exploration of the supernatural, plus the added element of memoir. Itโs filled with the sense of love, wonder, and appreciation for Englandโs landscapes and the ghostly tales that quietly echo through its forests, hills and moors.
