Calendar and Other Verses
'Calendar and Other Verses' Summary
"Calendar and Other Verses" showcases a selection of poems by Irving Sydney Dix, offering a glimpse into his artistic sensibilities and his engagement with both the natural world and the poignant events of his time. The titular "Calendar" sequence explores the cycles of nature and the passage of time through a series of verse meditations. "Fairies of the Frost" presents a whimsical exploration of the fantastical realm of winter magic, while "The Sinking of the Titanic" stands as a powerful testament to the tragedy that captivated the world in 1912.

The collection offers a poignant glimpse into the artistic voice of a writer responding to the world around him.Book Details
