Description
And to Each Season...is undoubtedly Rod McKuen's most personal book of poetry. Not only is it his best work, it is the most autobiographical covering the entire range of his experiences early childhood, the learning period of his adolescence, and finally, the bittersweet maturity that has made each of his books meaningful to all of us.
As the author writes in his foreword, "Every man keeps a prisoner groaning in his heart.... This book is an attempt to free such a prisoner from mine.... This is for me a new beginning, or at least an end."
And to Each Season... is a uniquely moving, remarkable collection of poems that is destined to become Rod McKuen's greatest success. And, very obviously, it points toward a new and different kind of McKuen writing.
