The poems here definitely are short. While they are lovely and spot on with their imagery, I think they're a little uneven in their seasonal connection. Though if used as a read aloud, that would be a good discussion point with young listeners. What, exactly, does a poem called Window about looking out at the night from a railroad car have to do with spring?
Whether or not you agree with dividing these poems up as representing the seasons of the year, this is a good collection, and a lovely looking one, for all who appreciate their poetry on the short side, whatever your age.
By the way, Connecticut author Patricia Hubbell has a poem in Firefly July.

When I saw the title of this post I automatically assumed it was referring to a YA book based on the Firefly TV show that I somehow hadn't heard about.
