English Stornelli

English Stornelli

by Augusta Webster

Augusta Webster's 'English Stornelli' is a collection of eight-line verses grouped thematically by the seasons of the year. These poems explore the cyclical stages of life from youth, courtship, and parenthood through age and loss. Webster's use of the stornello form, a traditional Italian folk song, adds a unique rhythmic and melodic element to these introspective and evocative poems.
