About This Book
The collection presents short lyrical and narrative poems written in Dorset dialect that evoke seasonal life in a rural community. Across sections for spring, summer, autumn and winter, the poems depict landscapes, animal and farm work, harvests, village customs, family moments, religious observances, festivals and quiet evening reflections, balancing plain speech with rustic humor and grief. Many pieces are pastoral eclogues or songs, and a pronunciation guide and glossary of local words help readers access the dialect.
