The third volume of K. A. Opperman's
POEMS FOR HALLOWEEN SERIES
.
As the summer fades, journey through October's door...
At Summer's Wistful End
is K. A. Opperman's triumphant final entry in the
Poems for Halloween Series
-a capstone for the motley array of jack-o'-lanterns, specters, skeletons and spooks the author so gleefully conjures for us in these lively seasonal verses. These poems range in tone from celebratory to somber, from cozy to macabre, recalling an atmosphere of mist and dream lanced by the last rays of the summer sun. Opperman helps us discover the candy-filled cauldron at Summer's End-the fabled reward at the end of a long journey; the gift of remembered youth, and with it-a new beginning.
Featuring more than 20 atmospheric full-page black and white illustrations by Dan Sauer.
