Poetry is a fascinating use of language. With almost a million words at its command it is not surprising that these Isles have produced some of the most beautiful, moving and descriptive verse through the centuries. In this series we look at each calendar month through the eyes and minds of our most gifted poets to bring you a guide to the days within each . This volume of Poetry is all about December – The 12th and final month in the Gregorian calendar. Winter is upon the land and Christmas provides a source of celebration. The poets including such notables as John Keats, Lord Byron, William Shakespeare, Percy Bsysshe Shelley, Alfred Lord Tennyson reflect their views and extend their thoughts to us.
