Winter Comes

About this book

LibriVox volunteers bring you 10 recordings of Winter Comes by Edward Powys Mathers. This was the Weekly Poetry project for December 31, 2023. ------ Edward Powys Mathers was an English translator and poet, and also a pioneer of compiling advanced cryptic crosswords. He also translated The Garden of Bright Waters: One Hundred and Twenty Asiatic Love Poems (1920); and the Kashmiri poet Bilhana in Bilhana: Black Marigolds (1919), a free interpretation in the tradition of Edward FitzGerald, quoted at length in John Steinbeck’s novel Cannery Row. These are not scholarly works, and are in some cases based on intermediate versions in European languages.
